Publisher's Note
In this lush, epic novel by the bestselling author of "Bastard Out of Carolina", Delia Byrd packs up her old Datsun and her daughter Cissy and hits the road for Cayro, Georgia, to reclaim her life--and the two daughters she left behind. "Cavedweller" is a sweeping novel of the human spirit, the lost and hidden recesses of the heart, and the place where violence and redemption intersect.

Industry reviews
"[T]his novel simply isn't as taut and as sharply focused as its predecessor. Allison assigns all these characters, and minor ones as well, a bit too much to do....But given the tale's extraordinary vitality and wisdom, that's a small price to pay."
Salon - Dan Cryer (03/09/1998)

"Here is an appealing amalgam, a Victorian novel of the late-20th-century South. The old-fashioned attributes of...'Cavedweller' include a rambling narrative, a sharp moral sensibility, attractive heroes and villains who have a chance to repent....Some passages...might have been written by George Eliot, had she ever passed through the sound waves of rock-and-roll."
New York Times Book Review - Valerie Sayers (03/15/1998)

"Allison takes a huge chance here, because for all her storytelling power, humor and insight, she is tracking the most common stuff of life, and, as in life, most of her characters are not particularly fascinating upon first meeting....This isn't a 'perfect book,' the words so many used to describe 'Bastard' six years ago....But such talk is always irritating. If a book were perfect why would any writer risk another?"
Nation - JoAnn Wypijewski (03/30/1998)

"Alison's breakaway intensity and warm identification with her characters carry thin long book triumphantly over its repetitions and overemphases, producing an altogether wonderful second novel and, for its author, a giant step forward."
