Description: "A couple discovers Faulkner, shrimp and grits, Morgan Freeman, and how much they don't know about each other. A son reconnects with a distant father and his dog while 'bucket-sitting' on a frozen lake. Weaving through these stories and more, a wandering musician--tackle box full of harmonicas in tow--is audience to his transient neighbors residing at a La Quinta Inn and Suites. At times funny, often close to the bone, always poignant, 'Ripple Meets the Deep' defines the voice of a true storyteller whose tales of flawed people are at once local and expansive"--Back cover.
