Amy Curry thinks her life sucks. Her mom
decides to move from California to Connecticut to start anew--just in
time for Amy's senior year. Her dad recently died in a car accident. So
Amy embarks on a road trip to escape from it all, driving cross-country
from the home she's always known toward her new life. Joining Amy on the
road trip is Roger, the son of Amy's mother's old friend. Amy hasn’t
seen him in years, and she is less than thrilled to be driving across
the country with a guy she barely knows. So she's surprised to find that
she is developing a crush on him. At the same time, she’s coming to
terms with her father’s death and how to put her own life back together
after the accident. Told in traditional narrative as well as scraps from
the road--diner napkins, motel receipts, postcards--this is the story
of one girl's journey to find herself.
