Description

Borrowed Time, Borrowed Road is a literary short story collection set in Mississippi and the American South. These fictional stories explore memory, race, violence, faith, loss, and moral consequence through characters shaped by personal history, regional culture, and the burdens of the past.

Across courtrooms, rural backroads, farms, cafés, and fading small towns, the collection moves through brutal confrontations, quiet reckonings, dark humor, and moments of philosophical reflection. Veterans, lawyers, families, working people, and marginalized voices populate these stories, each facing moral choices that echo across generations and social divides.

Written with directness, depth, and a strong sense of place, Borrowed Time, Borrowed Road offers Southern literary fiction that is unflinching, psychologically perceptive, and deeply concerned with human nature. This short story collection will appeal to readers of literary fiction, regional fiction, and character-driven stories rooted in the complexities of the modern South.
