    Night is falling, and so is the snow. As the blizzard buries the ground, it uncovers the resentments, hopes, and aches of a small town in northeastern Arkansas, where, like in any Southern small town, there are unwanted pregnancies to agonize over, surgeries to be paid for and love to be made.Julies two daughters have just run off to Hollywood to be famous when she suddenly finds herself, at forty-six, unexpectedly expectant. Shes not sure she can bear to be a mother again. And her husband, Charlie, wont come home to talk it over with her.Charlie wants another child more than anything, but he doesnt know how to deal with Julie. His affair with Wilson, his best friend, is over, but hes found a different and unusual kind of intimacy.Wilson works in the Singer factory that keeps the town alive. She wants more than anything to be loved, but she knows that Charlie wasnt the way to get there. Shes in love with Dol.Dol is a transsexual, a divorced father of two children, who cant afford the transition that would make his body make sense although the doctors visiting from Atlanta might change that.Their very different voices converge as the blizzard gathers force, their stories violently mapping in the snow the ways that memory, gender, and history carve themselves upon our bodies. The Drifts is dexterously told, a cacophony of four affecting voices melding into one exquisite chord.
