In a house trailer in rural Mississippi, Gary, a married Vietnam veteran, addicted to drugs, haunted by memories of the past, is on the brink of collapse. Just when he thinks the dream of another life is over, the unspeakable happens. He falls in love with a frail, ghostly younger man who reminds him of youth, beauty, and the possibility of a life beyond the prison he has created for himself.
A Scarecrow s Bible is about what happens when love occurs at the most unexpected moment. It is the story of how working-class men and women in a small town adapt to changes that somehow seem impossible. It is a novel of hope and transformation that challenges our ideas about diversity and social change, breaking your heart all the way. Winner of the 2007 Edmund White Debut Fiction Award. Finalist for the 2006 Violet Quill Award, the 2006 Lambda Literary Award for Gay Debut Fiction, the 2007 Ferro-Grumley Award for LGBT Men's Fiction, and an Honor Book in Literature for the 2007 Stonewall Book Award/Barbara Gittings Literature Award.
