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.
