If Morning Ever Comes, published in 1964, tells with insight and wit the story of a bewildered young man's rediscovery of his past on a visit home. In The Tin Can Tree, the random, tragic death of young daughter focuses a tight-knit Southern family on the necessity of living. A Slipping-Down Life chronicles the romance of an offbeat and amusingly unlikely couple - a lonely, dowdy high school girl and a stubborn rock musician.
