I hadn't heard from Vernon since we got out of Shady Hollow High School.

That was a while back.

Shady Hollow is about as small a town as you can find, and it's kind of backward.

In fact, most folks around those parts call it Redneck Hollow.

Vernon lived with his mom and dad in a trailer at the end of a long dirt road.
