Miss Corpus

the long version

"Will has just returned from sea to find his wife lying dead on the kitchen floor. Four states away, Phil has been waiting for his son to return home, only to discover his body decomposing at the bottom of a nearby swamp. Will's wife always wanted a highway-bound honeymoon. Phil's son always wanted to see the country. In an attempt to pick up the pieces of their lives, both Will and Phil load up their cars and hit the road.". "From the moment Will and Phil slip their keys into the ignition, every person with whom they come into contact becomes a part of a tapestry of narratives that gives a singular, vivid voice to the Deep South."--BOOK JACKET.
