description: With his mother in jail for killing his abusive father, Harley Altmyer is an orphan with the responsibilities of an adult and the fiery, aggressive libido of a teenager. Just nineteen years old, he's marooned in a stricken coal town in the Pennsylvania backwoods caring for his three younger sisters. And once he develops an obsession with the sexy, melancholic mother of two down the road, those Victoria's Secret catalogs just won't do. But it's the family secrets, the lies, and the unspoken truths that light the fuse and erupt into a series of staggering surprises, leaving what's left of his family in tatters. Through every ordeal, he could never have known that his endearing humor, love for his sisters, and bumbling heroics would redeem them all. Funny and heartbreaking, BACK ROADS is a riveting novel by a formidable new talent.
