 | Ruin Creek by David Payne
When Jimmy Madden fails to show up at the Outer Banks for his son Joey's birthday, years of resentment come to a head. The novel examines the roots of the family's disintegration: an early marriage and child that forced Jimmy to work at his father-in-law's tobacco business, instead of pursuing his ambitions to be both doctor and writer; his inability to support his wife, May, in the fashion to which she'd been accustomed before their marriage; his knack for losing at gambling; and his boozing. This is a portrait of a high school star who has disappointed everyone, especially himself, and of a family's destruction. AUTHOR: David Payne
