Making Small Talk With Jesus: A Country Ballad (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781665792462)

Making Small Talk with Jesus is a haunting, lyrical novella set in the emotional landscape of a distant rural America. It's a romantic, rustic story about a marriage unraveling and a family's downward spiral after a stillbirth. This novella follows Jesse Mack Jr., a country radio DJ whose grief pours into the airwaves of his show, The Country Bus, where his poetic longings and heartfelt ballads become a local legend-touching lost souls and fueling his audience's obsession with reuniting him with his estranged wife, Lexy. Told with the rhythm of a country ballad and the depth of a spiritual awakening, Making Small Talk with Jesus is a modern American lament, rich in heartbreak, music, and grace. Through a tapestry of motel rooms, dusty rodeo towns, lonely highways, and radio towers blinking in the dark, McCoy paints a world of sorrow, memory, and unexpected redemption.
