Malcolm R. Campbell, “Garden of Heaven: an Odyssey” –
Truck driver Tim Harrison loves his job. He sits above the traffic in his aging cabover truck and watches the country slide past the large window. He’s seen it all, from corner to corner, and the long hours of his nomad’s life have taught him the value of self-sufficiency and perseverance. Harrison knows life on the road is hard on his family, but the road is all he knows…
Whipping Post is a bluntly realistic story about men addicted to violence, alcohol, drugs, and rage. It is also a heartbreaking story about how easily home, family, and truth are undone by men’s addictions. Webber paints the world of biker bars, truck stops, and the road itself with a fine-tipped brush. These worlds live and breathe and are real on the page as readers see them from the diverse perspectives of Barnes, Crane, Harrison, and others.
The plot is relentless. There are unexpected twists, turns, and revelations. Everyone’s life in Whipping Post seems “too broke to fix” even though the characters, love ’em and hate ’em, know no other way to live and believe taking a beating is just as normal and breathing and watching the rest of the world fly past their large windows.
