Steve Earle’s heartbreaking debut novel features a morphine addicted doctor haunted by the ghost of Hank Williams, a Mexican girl with healing powers, and other misfits. Set in San Antonio in 1963, the story delicately balances opposing forces like Catholicism and “hoodoo,” addiction and redemption, brutal reality and magical realism.
