Leslie Walker Williams, author of The Prudent Mariner (winner of the Peter Taylor Prize)

The land, the heat, the South's societal complexities (and perplexities) are all here. Utterly involving, wise and perceptive, this is a novel to remember. If you liked To Kill a Mockingbird, you will love The Prudent Mariner.
-Kelly Cherry, judge of the Peter Taylor Prize for the Novel
