Salty Saltzmanous's life was pretty dull. After years of hopping from trailer park to trailer park with his family, he thought he would get a new start in a little house deep in Mennonite country; but all that's there to do is work, drink, and argue with his wife. He didn't think it could get much worse-until he accidentally killed her.So he ran.Now it's been fourteen years on the run, living with a lively cast of homeless outcasts in the big city, all of them on the run from their pasts, all of them looking for some kind of salvation. But the police are back on Salty's trail, and the key to the case is his daughter, Sylvia, abandoned to foster care and now fully grown, who has finally decided to track down her missing father...Warm, heartbreaking, and funny, Eye of the Chicken is a modern-day drama of abandonment and redemption.
