The Longest Man-Made Beach in the World

Set against the bright sand, murky waters, and barrier islands of the Mississippi Gulf Coast, this new short story collection honors the lives of working-class characters with their backs against the wall. Wracked by loss, regret, and desperation, they find slivers of grace where they least expect them.
