Wonderful Characters

I enjoyed this book very much. I love a good character and The Whiskey Eaters stories are full of wonderful characters that came to life for me. Evangeline tells their stories without judgement, but with understanding and a knowledge of survival.

Vivid, electric prose from first page to last.

The Whiskey Eaters is a collection of stories about men and women who pursued the illusive dreams of the sixties, experienced the harder realities of the seventies, and endured the consequences of the eighties. These are stories of modern day live and survival for waitresses, carpenters, drug dealers, and common people caught in an uncommon world. Here are tales of single women struggling to raise their children in the midst of the loss that punctuates the modern world; of men married more to whiskey than women; stories of loss, despair, and the struggle to endure -- backgrounded by the community of Wilson, Wyoming. Here are universal themes and timeless, rugged characters related in a vivid, electric prose that captures the reader with an intensity that won't let go from first page to last.
