“The Distance Between High and Low” is a Southern Gothic novel about the
consequences for two young people who set out to learn the identity of their
father. Teenaged twins, Lizzie and Peck live in the house of their eccentric,
widowed grandmother Pearl--a house of history and secrets-- along with their
unstable, drug-addicted, artist mother, Lila, and Izear, a half-Cherokee Indian
devoted to Pearl who took him into her house many years before. Often with dark humor, the story focuses on
the strivings of complex characters in the fictional town of Highlow, Alabama
from the 1960’s into the 1980’s.
