For a small-town conservative mayor and his liberal activist wife, politics, principles and personalities collide when the Blessed Virgin Mary appears on an underpass, a long-standing citizen decides to build an exact replica of Noah's Ark across from the State Forest, and their daughter makes a life-altering decision.
One for the Ark was a Short List Finalist for the William Wisdom-William Faulkner Prize for an Unpublished Novel in both 2007 and 2009. When Walls Weep, excerpted in part from One for the Ark, was one of two finalists for The Florida Review 2014 Editors Awards.
