Olympus, Texas

by Stacey Swann

In 'Olympus, Texas,' readers are invited into the tumultuous world of the Briscoe family, whose lives in their small Texas town are as vast and emotionally charged as the landscape that surrounds them. When March Briscoe returns home after a scandal involving his brother's wife, his mother, June, confronts the weariness of being the stoic spouse amidst past infidelities. As the estranged son steps back into the fold, wounds are reopened, lives descend into chaos, and relationships crumble, pushing the family to the edge. Alliances shatter and secrets erupt, ensnaring the Briscoes in a gripping drama that mirrors the grandeur and tragedy of the Greek myths they subtly echo. What unfolds is a powerful saga exploring the profound and often destructive nature of love, asking whether the intricate bonds of family can withstand the weight of betrayal and loss.
