An Amazon Best Book of 2015, A Kirkus Reviews Best Book of 2015A brave book with beautiful sentences on every page.New York TimesPiercing...a tour de force.Los Angeles TimesIn 2000, while moving his household from Vermont to North Carolina, David Payne watched from his rearview mirror as his younger brother, George A., driving behind him in a twoman convoy of rental trucks, lost control of his vehicle, fishtailed, flipped over in the road, and died instantly. Soon thereafter, Davids life hit a downward spiral. His career came to a standstill, his marriage disintegrated, and his drinking went from a cocktailhour indulgence to a fullblown addiction. He found himself haunted not only by George A.s death, but also by his brothers manic depression, a hereditary illness that overlaid a dark family history whose roots now gripped David.Barefoot to Avalon is Paynes earnest and unflinching account of George A. and their boyhood footrace that lasted long into their adulthood, defining their relationship and their lives. As universal as it is intimate, this is an exceptional memoir of brotherhood, of sibling rivalries and sibling love, and of the torments a family can hold silent and carry across generations.
