Description:
The crowded joys and familiar despair of back-alley life in postwar Pittsburgh have a hold on most people there. Still, there are those who try -- who need -- to escape. Jeremiah Henderson and his woman, Willet Mercer, have set their sights on New York City, and for a time, it looks as if their dreams might come true. But making good is easier said than done, and after a moneymaking scheme goes awry, Jeremiah and Willet are forced to flee in a fancy new Buick, leaving a trail of blood behind them.

Told over the course of five days and nights in the summer of 1950, this is an unforgettable story of crime, punishment, and loss. His richest and most affecting novel yet, I Can't Wait on God is a classic that confirms Albert French as one of the most talented and original voices of our time.
