Summer in Madison County. Seventeen year old Travis Shelton cannot see a way out of his small town – until he discovers a grove of marijuana in the woods that could make him some serious money.
But Travis has stumbled across more than drugs. His discovery is the first unwitting step in a series that will lead him to the back to the savage violence and betrayal lying in the community’s history, and to the heart of corruption in its present.
Vivid and unsettling, The World Made Straight is a powerful exploration of the secrets that bind us together and drive us apart.
