A prodigy, they called him, the next in a long line of faithful men. Decades later, though, after a failed marriage and years away from the church and his home, Josiah (now Josie) finally returns to Queens to check on his father, who seems to be losing his grip on reality. Barreling through the old neighborhood, he's flooded with memories of his past, but when he finally arrives at his family's old house, he's completely unprepared for what he finds. Reaching from 1980 Queens to present-day sunny California to a tent revival in nineteenth-century rural Kentucky, \u003ci\u003eHigh as the Horses' Bridles \u003c\/i\u003eis an imaginative and heartbreaking debut from a bold new American voice.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eScott Cheshire earned his MFA from Hunter College.
