Title: Searching for Intruders
Description: "Stephen Raleigh Byler unveils in eleven stories the evolving self-awareness of Wilson Hues, a hapless drifter in rural Pennsylvania who finds himself, in strange moments of illumination, obsessed with the consequences of his own action and inaction.".

"Hues is caught in the throes of a male-dominated and sometimes violent home life and subculture. His dark memories - rendered in vignettes between stories and serving as a backdrop for his everyday life - intrude upon his relationships with both men and women in such a way as to remind him of his own tenderness and weakness.".

"In this look at a man struggling to reconcile the effect of the past on his present-day actions, Byler writes about hunting, fishing, love, loss, and relationships with a sensitivity and warmth that balance the darker currents of his themes and the emotional torment of his characters."--BOOK JACKET.
