<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Mohawk, New York, is one of those small towns that lie almost entirely on the wrong side of the tracks. Its citizens, too, have fallen on hard times. Dallas Younger, a star athlete in high school, now drifts from tavern to poker game, losing money, and, inevitably, another set of false teeth. His ex-wife, Anne, is stuck in a losing battle with her mother over the care of her sick father. And their son, Randall, is deliberately neglecting his school work--because in a place like Mohawk it doesn't pay to be too smart.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Mohawk, New York, is one of those small towns that lie almost entirely on the wrong side of the tracks.
