Scarecrow Bleeds (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781959726067)

Chatham Hill's invisible force is still holding strong. It isn't a magnetic or gravitational force, but it is a powerful energy that keeps people, young and old, around for a bit too long. Down here in the Deep South, the word for that is yearning.

Those who live in and around Chatham Hill veil their true selves with many different faces, some heroes, some villains, and some might just be both. They are all fighting tooth and nail to escape the never ending purgatory of small town life.

Some residents, like Rein, Amber, and Trevor, are just looking for love. Others, such as Victoria, Mr. Sweet, and Hal are desperate for satisfaction. Perhaps more dangerous are those who are seeking revenge-Amber, Annie Mae, and Sadie. Especially as they encounter those intent on scouring the barren land for a new life, Benjamin, Julie, and Cass.

In a small town, there is no way for everyone to win. So who will succeed in achieving their hearts' desire? And what are they willing to sacrifice to get there?

For in Chatham Hill, the price for happiness is high and success is never free...
