This book is really a series of related short stories...kind of reminds me of Olive Kitteridge in structure but where Olive's stories were mostly a little funny and a little heartwarming, these stories are not. Better descriptive words for these stories would be depressing, and abuse. The main character is a young child through young adulthood. His "friend" Derrick is older and cooler and also sexually abuses other kids. Lots of people in this book have bad things happen to them Sexual abuse, beatings, physical and mental illness...This really isn't an uplifting book.McClanahan writes it well and is certainly onto something.
