Mother Load, stories by Avery Caswell

Free Shipping on All Orders

From author, Avery Caswell. The desperate, the pure-at-heart, the charmingly manipulative, the wise, the deluded—mothers and children of every stripe populate this collection of short stories. The Southern landscape, past and present, is front and center, from roads the color of mahogany with shacks no bigger than a child’s playhouse, to a garden full of cures and curses.

“Each deftly crafted story is a literary gem. Mother Load is especially and unreservedly recommended for personal, community, and college/university library literary fiction collections and supplemental curriculum studies lists.”
—Midwest Book Review

“Stunning”
—Kirkus
