The Sins of Our Fathers

Alone among the creatures of the world, man suffers a pang both bitter and sweet. It is an ache for the homecoming. The Greeks called it nostalgia.

What Dies In Summer (What Dies in Summer), a first book by Tom Wright, is an astonishingly crafted book about young love, psychotics, living in Texas, murder and growing up in general. Tom weaves an interesting telling of the time and period before life grew into our hectic, mobile pace. A place where the heat of the day could suffocate you but the shade of the trees could cool you down enough to explore a world hot from the sins of the fathers but ice cold with grandmother's sweet tea.
