Amy Curry is having a terrible year. Her mother has decided to move
across the country and needs Amy to get their car from California to
Connecticut. There's just one small problem: Since her dad died this
past spring, Amy hasn't been able to get behind the wheel. Enter Roger,
the nineteen-year-old son of an old family friend, who turns out to be
unexpectedly cute . . . and dealing with some baggage of his own.
Meeting new people and coming to terms with her father's death were not
what Amy had planned on this trip. And traveling the Loneliest Road in
America, seeing the Colorado mountains, crossing the Kansas plains, and
visiting diners, dingy motels, and Graceland were definitely not on the
itinerary. But as they drive, Amy finds that the people you least
expected are the ones you may need the most -- and that sometimes you
have to get lost in order to find your way home. "One of the most
touching, irresistible, and feel-good road trips I've been on in a long,
long while." --Deb Caletti, National Book Award Finalist
