A Blunt Grace

From the author of The Loser Fandango and Atlanta en Regalia
Take one disgraced District Attorney.
Add a part-time philosopher-full-time barbecue grill master, a sassy but big-hearted waitress, a transgender stuck in limbo on a pay-as-you-go plan, a woman with an intellectual disability who forgets which are swear words and which aren't, and a speech-impaired Latino in the U.S. illegally.
Stir them together in a bucolic village on the coast of South Carolina, and you've got a recipe for insanity.

Small town District Attorney Bowman Carter has the case of his career. He wins and his future is bright. There is even talk of a Congressional campaign. Then disaster. The man who has spent seven years in prison is actually innocent, and he wants payback.
Drunk and suicidal, Carter wakes up in the small seaside town of Port Royal, South Carolina. There among a cast of eccentrics, he begins the slow, arduous task of becoming human again-if it doesn't kill him first.
