12th ANNUAL NATIONAL INDIE EXCELLENCE AWARDS® FINALIST IN GENERAL FICTION. God's pious found their Promised Land in backwater Clemency, AL, where decades pass without change, and dreams go to die. Hypocrites masquerade as saints, thieves as benefactors, and their children pay the price. Levi works a dead-end job to support his churchgoing, alcoholic mother, and wonders why he's been left behind. Jonah's going nowhere, held back by long-lost glory days and an inglorious future. But when Levi's affluent neighbors move back to town and Jonah gets to know the Reverend's darling daughter, the future's looking brighter than ever. However, in living a tale of redemption, coming of age and the death of the American dream, they soon learn that the light at the end of the tunnel isn't always something to follow. After all, how can one be saved when all the preachers are just devils in Sunday hats?
Autorenporträt
Joseph (Joey) D'Urso is a born-and-raised Long Islander living far from home, and despite his relocation, he has yet to lose his New York accent. He was born to a loud Italian-American family and takes great pride in his surname's apostrophe. Creative even from elementary school, he has been writing fiction longer than he cares to remember. His published novels include "Devils in Sunday Hats," a tale of redemption, coming-of-age and the death of the American dream, and "The Aetherverse," an incendiary space opera for troubled times. Aside from writing fiction, Joey is an avid saxophone player, having played alto sax for over 15 years. He also has an intense interest in languages (both real and fictional) and graduated from Binghamton University with a BA in Arabic.
