Synopsis

In LIVE CAUGHT, R. Cathey Daniels's beautifully hypnotic debut novel, Lenny dreams of escaping to the sea. His gritty, complicated journey offers him constant temptations and choices as he makes his way through a pageant of flawed saints and frightening sinners… . In the wild, poetic world Daniels has created, Lenny betrays and is betrayed, steals and is stolen from, and harms and protects as he turns to face his life, urgently trying to solve the riddles of his hardscrabble home and past.--Sarah Stone
"LIVE CAUGHT is about the long shadows--of family, of childhood, of siblings, and of memory's sleight of hand. And like any Southern novel worthy of the name, there is madness, fatal misunderstandings, and images cut with a brutal and beautiful scalpel."--Thomas M. Atkinson
