Description:Shrapnel is a coming-of-age story in the nick of time for 77-year-old Bing Butler. Forced by age and circumstance to leave his beloved Texas and move in with his daughter in West Virginia, Bing's right-wing, old-school ways often put him at odds with his left-leaning daughter.

His wild journey reveals a fuller picture of the people of West Virginia, but it also unearths painful wounds and family secrets that he and his daughter never fully addressed.
