Why read it?
1 author picked Pickard County Atlas as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I devoured this novel in one sitting. It has tons of dark stories that weave the families of unforgettable characters trying to hold their lives intact in Nebraska’s Sandhills.

From Devin's list on books with super shady characters.
