Synopsis
Kent Meyers tells the story of a murdered girl through the reactions and internal accusations of her family, friends, and neighbors in the small town of Twisted Tree, South Dakota. While each person crafts their own version of what happened to Hayley Jo Zimmerman, Meyers expertly allows their threads to unite into a tapestry depicting the nature of the fictional town of Twisted Tree, which in turn stands for Anytown, U.S.A.

Publisher's Note
The story of a dead girl, Hayley Jo Zimmerman, is told through the stories of those who knew her, including a supermarket clerk who recalls an encounter with a disturbingly thin Hayley Jo, an ex-priest who remembers baptizing the girl, and her best friend Laura, who regrets all the running they did, and how it fed her addiction.

Industry Reviews
"Meyers's small masterpiece deserves comparison to the work of Raymond Carver, Joy Williams and Peter Matthiessen." (starred review)
(07/13/2009)

"Meyers' prose is strikingly physical, sometimes thrillingly so...."
(08/15/2009)

"[I]mpressive....Meyers creates a stunning narrative of these stories...quilting together an intricate patchwork from confessions, remembrances and secrets....What's most wonderful is Meyer's casting. There's not one flat, uninteresting character in the bunch."
