Delicious Foods: A Novel

"Delicious Foods starts where some other books might end. Its hero, Eddie, is a bloodied survivor, and author James Hannaham tells us how he got there: When Eddie’s drug-addled mother, Darlene, disappears — she’s been kidnapped by a corrupt farm where she and others are treated like modern-day slaves — Eddie goes looking for her. The result is a bittersweet story of a mother who careens through life and a son who does his best to hold on."
