A heart-rending story about an unusual mother-daughter relationship --
and a shocking family secret.
From Montpelier, Vermont, across the country to Venice, California, Nina
Lewis and her mother Joyce are always on the move. They own nothing that
can't fit in the back of a van, and they never stay very long in any one
place. Home is wherever they are, as long as they're together. But as
Nina begins to yearn for a settled life and lasting friendships, Joyce
begins to move at a more and more frantic pace. Will Nina ever get the
stability she craves? Or will Joyce's compulsion to keep moving cause
both their lives to spiral out of control? With finely drawn characters
and a frank, compelling narrative voice, Amy Ehrlich weaves a complex
story about an unusual mother-daughter relationship -- a story that
explodes in a final, heartbreaking climax.
