Blood and Water / J David Osborne

After discovering a body in a local fishing hole, two brothers come to terms with their own poverty as they’re inescapably drawn into a surreal world of dangerous criminals.

Set against a rural Oklahoma backdrop, Blood and Water is a story of family responsibility, the lure of easy outs and even easier scores, and our own violent impulses.

“Working class fiction at its best . . . desperation, busted dreams, and hard times.” —Benjamin Whitmer, author of Cry Father
