In the wry, twisted stories of Golden Heart Parade, the underdog is king and the outsiders are storming the gates.

We visit the roadside haunts and desolate highways of America's heartland, meeting the screwballs who shuffle their feet to a soundtrack of rumble strips and twangy AM radio.

These misfits and mavericks are in trouble—on the streets, out of work, down on their luck—yet their paths to redemption are always heartfelt and humorous.

In lush and lucid prose, Golden Heart Parade navigates emotional landscapes that reflect the vast terrain of America's heartland.

Publishers Weekly writes, “Unexpected humor abounds . . . , cutting through the raw emotions, minimalist narrative, and snappy dialogue. Holt’s gaze falls on grit and grime, but he writes with plenty of heart.”
