Welcome to Grouse County, somewhere in the Midwest, where the towns are small but the people, their dreams and their eccentricities come in all sizes. When Sheriff Dan Norman arrests local troublemaker Tiny Darling for vandalising an anti-vandalism dance, he does not expect much in the way of fallout. But unseen wheels have been set in motion, and lives will be changed: Dan finds love, Tiny loses his wife Louise, and all three travel an epic journey of the heart.

Update 5/2024:
Just relistening to the audiobook and reposting this review. Still loving the book, and can't wait to read the other two in the series again. Highly recommended.
I listened to this book in audio form over the course of a few days and thoroughly enjoyed it. Why I enjoyed it, I have no idea. There's no real plot here, though the stories are all vaguely connected. There's no point.
But it's fantastic, in part because it's a lot different than any fiction you've probably ever read. It's a good choice if you're just bored with fiction, a nice palate cleanser when you're having a hard time getting into anything. When I reached the end I just said ‘What?'
That's not to say this is one of those books with a ‘you decide what happens' or cliffhanger ending, which I absolutely loathe. It just ends where it ends.
Tom Drury has a very unique style and I get the feeling individual readers will either love it or hate it. If you fall on love side of the fence you'll enjoy this book. If not I think you'll abandon it after the first couple of chapters.
