Hotheaded Saints

By Taylor Barton

Book Overview

"Mystery, mayhem and humor ensue in Taylor Barton's fabulous Hotheaded Saints. Pull up a chaise, pour a glass of Long Island ice tea, shake the sand out of your shoes and read. A wonderful escape "

--Adriana Trigiani Best selling author of Big Stone Gap, Lucia, Lucia and Rococo

"Hotheaded Saints is layered and revealing, dark and hopeful at the same time. Taylor Barton has drawn a compelling and fascinating portrait of the underbelly of the Hamptons and the interior life of a woman in search of redemption in it."

--Rosanne Cash Singer, Songwriter, Author of Bodies of Water and Penelope Jane

Taylor Barton's exceptional debut novel explores, in stunning prose, the cutthroat and catty world of artist rivalry; and family wreckage caused by drug-induced insanity. Although Hotheaded Saints is fraught with a myriad of inner and outer demons, at its core lie's a transformative faith in the healing powers of destiny.

--Martine Bellen Author or Vulnerability of Order

Hotheaded Saints is a fiery, rip-roaring ride through the overwrought Hamptons; a kaleidoscope of the Bonnackers verses the A-listers. Hotheaded Saints exploits long buried injustices and the inexorable flow of a history that creates a tableau of epic tragedy.

Customer Reviews

Hotheaded Saints

I found Taylor Barton's novel to be thoroughly engaging and difficult to put down. The characters were well-rounded for the most part, with most of them being just despicable enough to seem real. The men in her story were mostly weak and reprehensible, which might put some men off, but in the end there was enough redemption to go around and plenty of hopefulness, leaving me with a good feeling. If Taylor writes a sequel, I would very much look forward to reading it.

Love this hilarious fast- paced read!

I loved this hilarious and heart-warming story of a life in Amagansett, N.Y.! The story is well crafted and the quirky characters memorable. Barton captures all social classes in the Hamptons area not just the usual well-to- do sterotypes. The independent authors can really produce some gems. I recommend this book to anyone and have already passed it on to several friends!!!
