Gravel Shoulders

Gravel Shoulders is a fictionalized memoir. Fast moving and superbly written, Lawrence David Brown lets his protagonist tell the tale: a modern ballet dancer named Harry who drops out of Manhattan to hitchhike across 1972 America looking for missing pieces in his life. Inspired by a lovely hitchhiker named Kate and guided by Lakota sage, Mama Thunder, Harry searches for forgiveness from his guilt ridden past. Oddly, it's down-and-out bartender, Eldon Honeycutt III, who gives Harry the support he seeks. Brown is a former professional dancer and offers this fictionalized autobiography about a pivotal crisis during Woodstock and the Vietnam War. During those uncertain times, Brown reflects on his 1950's childhood in Sacramento, California, boarding school on the Jersey Shore, College in Lynchburg, Virginia and the beginning of his dance career in Manhattan.
