Busted Flat
A new Novella by Michael Loyd Gray
(Blue Cedar Press)

On October 14, 2024, Blue Cedar Press released a powerful novella about an orphaned, homeless teenager picked up in Detroit, MI by a homeless veteran of the Afghanistan War. The boy tells story of their  travels in the vet’s pickup truck across the U.S., surviving by petty crime that rapidly escalated as the vet’s episodes of PTSD worsen. Here is the underbelly of the American Dream, growing homelessness and its consequences. Even reluctant readers who have never read a whole book will race through this one!
