I have made not a sound since the day of my birth, October 2nd, 1815. I will say that my life has been something of a trial but such is God''s wish \u0026amp; so I must tell my story here on the page.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYip Tolroy and his fiery Mama run the general store in Heron''s Creek, Georgia. An uneventful life, until gold is discovered nearby and Yip is caught up in a bloody, grievous crime forcing him to flee. On the run, friendless and alone, he meets Dud Carter a savvy but unlikely companion. Together, they embark on a journey that thrusts them unwittingly into a world of menace and violence, of lust and revenge. And, as Yip and Dud''s odyssey takes them further into the unknown - via travelling shows, escaped slaves and the greed of gold-hungry men - the pull of home only gets stronger. But what will they find there if they ever return?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e''This is violent, anarchic American history with echoes of Sebastian Barry''s\u003ci\u003e Days Without End\u003c\/i\u003e, but Paddy Crewe''s take is startlingly original...
