General
Mike Beauchamp is a man haunted by memories—an abusive father and a grueling tour in Vietnam—and embittered by loss—Clover LeBlanc, his first love, and David, his adored baby brother. Reluctantly returning to New Orleans to visit his dying mother, Mike continues his downward spiral of drinking and despair, without hope or faith in God to save him. Even as he begins a tentative new relationship with the devout Clover, Mike falls under the spell of a ruthless white supremacist. Hardcover.
