Richard is like a traveler or pilgrim, moving from Haw River, North Carolina, to Arkansas to the Texas Gulf Coast and finally back to North Carolina again, as he and his people -- they drink hard, dance in their kitchens, lie and cheat -- struggle with their love and wrestle with their often inharmonious natures. In the end the narrator struggles to straighten out some small piece of his heart's crooked essence. My People's Waltz sadly celebrates the decisions we make to get on with the business of living.

  • The stories in this collection have appeared in the Atlantic, GQ, Ploughshares, Best American Short Stories, and New Stories from the South: The Year's Best.

  • Here's what Dale Ray Phillips has said of his own work: "Writing a story is a strange act of discovery; generally, I find that what I have uncovered is nothing more than what I have always known. Also -- and I'm embarrassed to admit this -- I love to lie, and fiction offers an acceptable channel for this compulsion."

Comfort+pointed toe=Sam Edelman
Size: 6.5, Color: Dk Chocolate
These are without a doubt the most comfortable shoes/boots, I with a pointed toe, that I have ever worn. The heel is a perfect height to elevate your look without forcing your foot too far forward into the toe box. I have worn these all day long, and have never had them pinch my toes. I’ve even worn them walking through cobblestone streets in London without discomfort. These boots also look amazing with a skirt, dress, or even a pair of jeans. The color is rich and the suede is butter soft. They fit true to size. I wear a 6.5 M. I find this true with all of the shoes I own from Sam Edelman. The quality is much better than the price suggests. I highly recommend these boots. You won’t regret your purchase!

Calf shaft runs big
Size: 9, Color: Black Wc
Beautiful suede boots. The shaft does run a bit loose so if you’re on the fence about ordering a wide version you may want to try the regular size first. I sized up half a size so I could wear a sock but probably didn’t need to. The kitten heel height is perfect for my comfort. I liked these so much I got them in dark walnut and black.

Stylish boot with low heel. Good suede and rubber no-slip sole. I purchased wide calf and they fit well. My calf measures 16.5 inches. I purchased also in brown and chianti colors.
