Whiskey When We’re Dry by John Larison

As good or better than any entry in Cormac McCarthy’s near-perfect Border Trilogy, this thrilling debut novel breathes new life into the Western genre. It’s bighearted and heartbreaking, tender and brutal, meditative and action-packed—it’s everything an American adventure novel should be and more. Jessilyn is an unforgettable and wholly unique heroine whose spirit, bravery, and voice will stay with you long after the sun has set on her incredible journey.
