Shane Deeds should be at peace with himself and the world. Tall, handsome, capable, and financially secure, he possesses everything necessary for a contented life.
But Deeds doesn't feel at peace with the world around him. A deeply rooted sense of isolation places Deeds at odds with both himself and others.
The town where Deeds lives seems enveloped in constant winter. To make matters worse, the people he comes into contact with elicit in him a deep antipathy, further exacerbating his feelings of alienation and loneliness.
Promiscuous women, members of the drug culture, an old and bitter police detective, preppy high school bullies and their victims: as Deeds encounters these people, he finds the line blurring between good and bad. Even his own actions and motivations become difficult to define.
Deeds wants to be happy, and beneath the misanthropy, his heart wants to love and be loved. Sadly, he's unsure how to accomplish this, so he must follow his own path-which won't be easy.
A dark, funny, and moving tale, The Path of Deeds introduces readers to complex and honest literary characters for the ages.
