As bound together by history as they are separated by mutual distrust, the citizens of Loring face present tensions as they look toward an uncertain future. <br><br>Into this charged atmosphere rides Tandy Payne&#8211;prodigal son of a prominent planter and brother of the current mayor, and a dissolute gambler looking to reclaim the family estate. When he takes advantage of a perceived slight from the town&#8217;s black postmistress, the ensuing clash with his principled brother results in a harrowing confrontation. Fueled by dark and brutal memories, their familial dispute quickly spreads through the countryside. Steve Yarbrough confronts character with morality, reason with blood, in this moving novel that explores the farthest boundaries of human nature. 614963 2001 Visible Spirits: A Novel total:14|5:3|4:6|3:4|2:1|1:0| 14 53 20 1 3 0 false false Sun Jan 18 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 18 16:40:38 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 18 16:41:16 -0800 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Thu Oct 22 11:35:55 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 22 11:36:03 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun Nov 15 10:28:37 -0800 2009 Mon Oct 12 11:01:50 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 12 11:02:12 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Thu Sep 17 13:25:46 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 30 19:07:46 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 17 13:25:46 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed Jun 03 11:19:50 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 03 11:19:50 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Dec 22 07:55:08 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 22 07:55:11 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Mon Dec 22 07:33:28 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 22 07:33:28 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Fri Dec 05 12:45:10 -0800 2008 Fri Dec 05 12:45:10 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Mon Dec 01 06:55:43 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 01 06:55:48 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Wed Sep 17 21:45:01 -0700 2008 Wed Sep 17 21:45:01 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Thu Aug 28 07:39:14 -0700 2008 Thu Aug 28 07:39:14 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Wed Jun 25 06:34:55 -0700 2008 Wed Jun 25 06:34:55 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Wed May 14 00:04:35 -0700 2008 Wed May 14 00:04:35 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Thu Mar 20 15:57:08 -0700 2008 Thu Mar 20 15:57:08 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Mon Feb 04 15:18:19 -0800 2008 Mon Feb 04 15:18:19 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Mon Feb 11 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Dec 16 11:39:52 -0800 2007 Mon Feb 11 23:14:41 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Fri Oct 19 20:54:38 -0700 2007 Fri Oct 19 20:54:38 -0700 2007 4 0 false false Mon Jul 02 17:39:24 -0700 2007 Mon Jul 02 17:39:24 -0700 2007 2 0 false false Wed May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2002 Sat Jun 16 20:27:14 -0700 2007 Sat Jun 16 20:27:14 -0700 2007 5 0 false false Fri Apr 13 09:35:12 -0700 2007 Fri Apr 13 09:35:12 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=628627
