About the Novel
Black Crow White Lie tells the story of young Carson Calley who discovers he has the curious ability to heal people. His mother, an alcoholic and a self-proclaimed psychic, does what she can to nurture his gift, but eventually loses herself to the bottle. As a latchkey kid living in Hollywood motels, Carson looks to unlikely mentors for guidance. Faris is a tattoo shop owner. Casper is an albino at a head shop.
