The Lost Saints of Tennessee: A Novel by Amy Franklin-Willis
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Recommended by Dorothy Allison and Pat Conroy, this novel, set in very small town Tennessee, is about Zeke Cooper, a middle-age man having a mid-life breakdown. His ex-wife is remarrying, he is still grieving for his twin brother, who drowned. He knows his young daughters need him, but doesn't know what to do. Drinking a lot, and very depressed he leaves home for what he intends to be his final journey. Only he finds himself back in Virginia where he stayed on the farm of an Aunt and Uncle for awhile. Sometimes getting away is all that is needed.
