When Troy and Raelyn meet, they form an instant bond that will lead them on a cross country trip through the south to New Orleans in an effort to escape the strangling family ties of the past in the dark heart of the Little Dixie.
Daren Dean's spectacular, distinct writing in This Vale of Tears brings us into the vivid and memorable worlds of the Scofield and Phelps families. This is a beautiful and affecting novel, and Daren Dean is a unique and powerful storyteller of the American South.
-Karen Bender, National Book Award Finalist and author of Refund, Like Normal People, The New Order, and others
Dean introduces us to an ensemble of unforgettable characters who hunger for love and vengeance and whose lives are haunted by the places their hearts and guts land them in. From the opening scene, Dean grabs us by the lapels and won't let go. In language that shines with lyricism, grit, and wit, he makes us know the Scofields and Phelpses and feel their hard and troubled lives.
-Randolph Thomas, author of Dispensations
