Synopsis
Eight years into a 15-year sentence, Crit Poppwell finally discovered something he was good at, besides destroying his family and abusing drugs. He found art. The solitary act of drawing, painting and creating brings a calmness and separation from the prison chaos. A dreadlocked Dominican nun who teaches art classes behind-bars encourages Crit to paint <i>the "truth in things."</i> She even helps him parole out, back to "bloody" Breathitt County where his brother is the reigning crystal meth kingpin and his ex-wife wants him dead for an unforgivable past crime that haunts his every heartbeat forward. <br><br>Crit returns to his Appalachian hometown with ringing tinnitus in his ear from a prison brawl, and a desire to change his DNA. But he soon meets a hot-mess substance abuser and her son, and his reluctant, then fully committed desire to help her puts him in the crosshairs of his brother's wrath. <br><br>Can Crit flush the past from his blood and bones and use his newfound creativity to change his life and save others? Or die trying? <br><br>Critical acclaim for LOUD WATER: <br><br>"Robby Henson's prose crackles with the raw-boned, rough-edged hardness of the Eastern Kentucky landscape, intensely capturing the desperate victims seeking to escape its unforgiving hold...whether through an act of redemption or an act of revenge. A visceral Southern Gothic Noir." -Charles Edward Pogue, screenwriter of <i>The Fly</i>, <i>Dragonheart</i>, and <i>Psycho III</i> <br><br>"Sins of the past litter the backroads of rural Kentucky in this powerful Southern Gothic noir. Redemption is a hard thing to come by. Henson writes like William Faulkner's Kentucky cousin and reminds us what great writing really looks like." -John Morrissey, producer of <i>American History X</i>, <i>Havoc</i>, and <i>There Are No Saints</i> <br><br>"A brilliant noir debut with a bittersweet ending." -Jim Winter, author of the Holland Bay series
