Not sure how to classify this one, so gave it its own thread...
Quote:
It's 1936, and Tobias Henry is stuck in the frozen hinterlands of Michigan. Tobias is obsessed with two things: God and girls.
Mostly girls, of course.
But being a Baptist preacher's son, he can't escape God.
When his father is blinded in a bizarre accident (involving hard cider and bird droppings), Tobias must ride the rails to Texas to recover a long-hidden stash of money. Along the way, he's initiated into the hobo brotherhood by Craw, a ribald vagabond-philosopher. Obstacles arise in the form of a saucy prostitute, a flaming boxcar, and a man-eating catfish. But when he meets Sarah, a tough farm girl under a dark curse, he finds out that the greatest challenge of all is love.

Free on Amazon at the moment:
http://www.amazon.com/The-Dirty-Part...dp/B003K15MO0/. And you can add the Whispersync audio for $2.99 afterward. Also free are the companion poetry collection,
The Book of Craw: A Hobo's Testament, and the same author's translation of
The Song of Songs. (No audio for either of those.)
The Dirty Parts of the Bible was an Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award semifinalist, apparently. No idea if it's any good, but for free I'll give it a shot.
