Description

The characters in Three Songs by Hank Williams travel lonesome roads. Often packing little more than bitterness and pain, this rough-and-tumble collection of characters are all striving for peace and healing--a testament to a genuine faith in the fundamenmtal goodness of humanity in spite of frequent wrong turns or stretches of bad luck. Wharton navigates through the geography of the prairies, the Rockies and the coast, and each story reflects a familiarity with its setting and taps into the promise that each offers.
