Set for the most part in Georgia, these eleven stories by the author of "I Am Dangerous" and "Pagan Babies" have a "breathtaking cumulative power" ("The New York Times Book Review"). Skillfully crafted and passionately written, "Distant Friends" illuminates a variety of characters in the New South, all of them confronting painful but potentially redemptive turning points in their lives.
