Two books in one--

Boy's Life: great story centering around an eleven-year-old boy living in rural Alabama in the Sixties. One morning, he and his father witness a car drive off into a lake. However, this was no accident... the driver was already murdered. I loved this book!!!!

Gone South -- a darker tale of a Vietnam vet who kills a man and then runs off to hide in the Louisiana bayous. He meets a young woman who is in search of a faith healer. They set off on a journey together that leads them both to some pretty dark places where they must face their pasts. A darker read than "Boy's Life", but a good tale.
