520    "Mary Byrd Thornton could understand how a reporter 
       couldn't resist the story: a nine-year-old boy sexually 
       molested and killed on Mother's Day, 1966. A suspect to 
       whom nothing would stick. A neighborhood riddled with 
       secrets. No one, especially the bungling or complicit 
       authorities, had been able to solve the crime. Now, thirty
       years later, the reporter's call will reel a reluctant 
       Mary Byrd from Mississippi back to Virginia where she must
       confront her family--and, once again, the murder's 
       irremovable stain of tragedy. Lisa Howorth's remarkable 
       Flying Shoes is a work of fiction, but the murder is based
       on the still-unsolved case of her stepbrother, a front 
       page story in the Washington Post. And yet this is not a 
       crime novel; it is an honest and luminous story of a 
       particular time and place in the South, where even 
       calamitous weather can be a character, everyone has a 
       story, and all are inextricably entwined. With a 
       flamboyant cast, splendid dark humor, a potent sense of 
       history, and a shocking true story at its heart, Flying 
       Shoes is a rich and candid novel from a fresh new southern
       voice about family and memory and one woman's flight from 
       a wounded past"--|cProvided by publisher.
