"Renegade artist Harp Spillman is lower than a bowlegged fire ant. Because of an unhealthy relationship with the bottle, he has ruined his reputation as one of the South's preeminent commissioned metal sculptors. And his desperate turn to ice sculpting almost led to a posse of angry politicians on his trail. But when Harp finally gets his chance for a come back, he soon learns -- with the help of his sane potter wife, Raylou; some smuggled anteaters; and the Elbow Boys -that sobriety and hard work don't necessarily make the world a less confusing place."--Back cover.
