The Tobacco Barn (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798993418681)

In the late 1980s, stuck in the front seat of his mother's old Chevy, Travis Wains is forced to grow up too fast. Under the thumb of an abusive father and subsequent years split between youth detention and a farm in North Carolina, Travis longs for home and a past from which he can escape. How did he get here? Was there something he could've done differently? And what really happened that led him here? It's only when these diverging roads he's travelled ultimately wind up together that the final culminating event from his uncertain past reveals his present with clarity.

The Tobacco Barn is about the emotional journey Travis has endured, a story of redemption told through his recollection of violence, recovery, and love-or his own recognition of it. It tells of friendship and family bonds we hold true as well as those better left broken. And sometimes, it's in the missing pieces where secrets are revealed.
