The summer after high-school graduation, a year after her motherâ€™s tragic death, Anna has no plans â€“ beyond her need to put a lot of miles between herself and the past. With forever friend Kat, a battered copy of Kerouacâ€™s DHARMA BUMS, and a car with a dodgy oil filter, the girls set out on an epic road trip across the USA. Maybe somewhere along the way theyâ€™ll prove or disprove the existence of God. Maybe theyâ€™ll even get laid . . .,Itâ€™s a journey both outward and inward. Through the Badlands and encounters with predatory men and buffalo. A crazy bus ride to Mexico with a bunch of hymn-singing missionaries. Facing death, naked in the forest with an enraged grizzly bear . . . Gradually, Anna realizes that this is a voyage of discovery into her own self, her own silent pain â€“ and into the tangled history that she and Kat share. What is love? What is sexual identity? And how do you find a way forward into a new future â€“ a way to declare openly and without fear all that lies within you?
