5Welcome to Cherry Run, Pennsylvania, the epitome of a blink and you'll miss it American town where the jobs are dead-end, the ultimate dream is hitting the lottery, and the only apparent escape is drinking at the Ruffled Grouse. In story-like chapters, Strip Cuts captures Cherry Run's residents in their most private and defining moments. Often humorous and always sincere, Drayer's debut novel presents a unique and memorable look at the heartache and hope of a small town, where the land and the people have been stripped bare for all to see.
