Synopsis

MIDNIGHT ROAD “Old Trails was ugly of frame, face and temper. For the life of me, I couldn’t understand how he could have sired Samal. Not that Sam didn’t have a temper, too. She had a short fuse and could cuss a blue streak. Her tantrum storms were short-lived, usually, but they were entertaining while they lasted. The only thing wrong with her that I could see was that she turned into a creature of soft curves….” So begins the story of 15-year-old Jeff Carr as he begins to grow up one Texas summer, and face some of the harsh truths around him. Everyone says he favors easy-going Kenty Hooker more than his own dad, Bant Carr, but folks always have to have something to talk about. Jeff’s got other things on his mind—like Sam, who is turning into a woman in front of him; and her brother Coy, whose mean streak is suddenly getting a lot wider. And Fergus, the brother they don’t talk about; the one who lives under the house to avoid the beatings of Coy and Old Trails. But while Jeff is making the Trails family his business, Bant is nursing a brooding pain that will soon explode into violence. That year, none of their lives will ever be the same. From the author of ONE FOR HELL.

À propos de l'auteur

Born in 1919 to bitter poverty on a West Texas farm, Jada Davis was a hired laborer in cotton fields as a child. He was a voracious reader when he could escape his farm chores, and found that he could make extra money as a teenager by writing short pieces for magazines. After serving in the last true cavalry division of the U.S. Army in the 1930s, he was forced by tuberculosis to sit out the Second World War. Davis earned a degree at the University of Texas at Austin, and then went on to edit several West Texas newspapers. Around that time, he authored One for Hell. Davis later joined the Southwestern Bell Telephone Company, where he rose up the ranks to become a senior PR executive. He died in 1996.
