by Phillip Irwin Cooper (Author)

When struggling actor Phillip Stalworth breaks up with his girlfriend, he returns home to the Deep South to care for his ailing mother and unexpectedly falls for a local carpenter. Working through his past with his complicated family, some old high school chums, and the desperate characters who grace his hometown, Phillip ultimately finds his own voice as his mother is finally regaining hers.

Already adapted for film, Counting for Thunder was inspired by writer Phillip Irwin Cooper's personal experience and, like Augusten Burroughs, covers many of the universal themes of love, life, sex, and death with his own brand of gallows wit. Phillip's three-year quest is a hero's journey proving we truly can go home again to learn the lessons we should have mastered the first time around.
