Sometimes to find out where you're going, you have to discover what
you've left behind: Two teens hit the road in this breathtaking novel
from Jennifer E. Smith, author of The Statistical Improbability of Love
at First Sight.
Emma and her neighbor Peter are both lonely in a way that only bothers
them occasionally. They both come from families they don't quite
understand. They both feel like something big is missing from their
lives--and they're both about to search for answers. When Emma makes a
discovery that shakes the foundations of her identity, she convinces
Peter to join her for a road trip. Each of them has something to find:
For Emma, it is a grave--a grave that may be her only connection to her
family. Peter is seeking something harder to define, but perhaps easier
to navigate--a freedom, a sense of something more than what he has.
Together, they take to the open road, engaging in a universal quest to
make sense of who they are and where they come from...and learning a
thing or two about love along the way.
