Reviews
"If you think we don't need another heavily footnoted Mormon road trip basketball novel, think again. . . . Thoughtful, deadpan, shot through with comic inspiration, it's a debut worth doing the wave for." -- J. Robert Lennon
The Salt Palace, Darren DeFrain's first novel, is a unique mixture of genres a road trip and religious novel with enough suspense to keep the reader on edge. But at heart it's a coming-of-age novel . . . The novel's ending is startling and ambiguous, unfinished (like the playoffs), uncertain, much like Brian's life. The story reverberates and unsettles, long after reading. Gordon Houser, The Wichita Eagle"
