A Scarecrow's Bible is about what happens when love occurs at the most unexpected moment. This story of hope and transformation that challenges our ideas about diversity and social change, of how small town lives can adapt to seemingly impossible changes, is a novel of Southern Gothicism and Urban Minimalism that transcends the work of both JT Leroy and Dorothy Allison.

In a house trailer in the rural Mississippi, Gary, a married Vietnam veteran, addicted to drugs, haunted by memories of the past, is on the brink of collapse. Just when he thinks the dream of another life is over, the unspeakable happens. He falls in love with a frail, ghostly young man who reminds him of youth, beauty, and the possibility of life beyond the prison he has created for himself.

This is the story of how working class men and women in a small town adapt to changes that somehow seem impossible. It is a novel of hope and transformation that challenges our ideas about diversity and social change, breaking your heart all the way.
