Book synopsis

Meet Richard, the winning and irrepressible narrator of this debut collection of interconnected stories by Southerner Dale Ray Phillips. "My People's Waltz is the story of Richard's world ? a place where people drink hard, lie and cheat freely, and yet still find the time to waltz in their kitchens. From North Carolina to Arkansas to the Texas Gulf Coast, from his mother's nervous breakdowns to his father's erratic attempts to win his family's love, Richard's journey from childhood to adulthood ultimately becomes a pilgrimage to salvage some part of his own damaged heart. By turns heartbreaking and hilarious, these award-winning stories herald a new voice in Southern American fiction.
