A holiday in the Algarve of Portugal...sunshine...fun-shine. It's what I need. It's time to be me. Time to find the woman I was before the nightmares, outlandish dreams, and sleepwalking. But I wasn't expecting to find Tomás Ferreira, a man made for pleasure. And now, my heart throbs with unfulfilled excitement, fire burns in my belly, and swirling flames lick my thighs. I'm a glorious mess. Where did Tiegan Moss come from? And why is she suddenly here on the day of the dead, the day the door to the otherworld swings open, the day the veil is thin? I'd hidden in the shadows, content, a life barely lived. You've changed everything. You make me want. You make my blood sing. Lost in your kaleidoscope eyes, trapped in the pout of your lips, I can't escape. And I don't like it one bit. Can our two haunted souls find a future together?

Her journey is not only a stunning physical adventure, but also a mental and spiritual quest that pushes her towards and eventual conversion to Buddhism.

It is an honest tale talking about the profound intricacies of the universal human heart.

"More engaging than any new fiction in years." —Chuck Palahniuk An unforgettable work of fiction that peers into the soul of a tough Midwestern American town to reveal the sad, stunted but resilient lives of its residents. Knockemstiff is a genuine entry into the literature of place. Spanning a period from the mid-sixties to the late nineties, the linked stories that comprise Knockemstiff feature a cast of recurring characters who are irresistibly, undeniably real. A father pumps his son full of steroids so he can vicariously relive his days as a perpetual runner-up body builder. A psychotic rural recluse comes upon two siblings committing incest and feels compelled to take action. Donald Ray Pollock presents his characters and the sordid goings-on with a stern intelligence, a bracing absence of value judgments, and a refreshingly dark sense of bottom-dog humor.

Would you face your life with courage and determination or would you rely on others for the rest of your life. All May ever needed was to be with the blind boy she'd fallen in love with. Desperate for freedom she elopes. She knows that she must take a leap of faith if she is to ever have the chance of love and of freedom; but there are obstacles to smash down. She is certain that together the world will really be their oyster; but will it?

The book relates his observations and experiences while sailing on cargo liners for the following four years – until he met the love of his life at a school reunion. It is a book of warmth, humour, poignancy and occasional sadness.
