Eric Redmond and Daniel Wright were two adopted brothers who grew up together, and died a world apart. They met in the middle of an American heartland that seemed perpetually in decline: shambolic trailer parks, a meth epidemic, and indifference between neighbors, but with the refuge of religion. Here, communities of blue-collar workers resigned to a lifetime of beige depression ? themselves descendants of two centuries of cultural calamities, armed only with the faint hope of one day living their dreams ? give up their anxieties and weekly tithes to the Lord as well as to a charismatic pastor, Eric’s father Harold Redmond. Things seem to be going well in Hawthorn, but its underbelly still thrives: drugs, crime and grim small-town secrets. Daniel and Eric’s bond is broken somewhere in the murky depths of the dysfunctional family unit ?or does it continue to endure Horrifying, humorous, irreverent and tragic, The Ghosts of Hawthorn, Missouri?is a work that bursts with pain, and with life.
