Selected by Indie Booksellers for the January 2010 Indie Notables“Priscilla Lynn Macy is like many single mothers in America - struggling to make ends meet. When she discovers she is pregnant, quite unplanned, she gathers her family together and embarks on a road trip, seemingly to nowhere. As her story unfolds through the eyes of her eight-year-old daughter, we see the truth of a mother's love that transcends the physical and leads to the ultimate healing of the spirit.”
-- Valerie Jones, Fireside Books and Gifts, West Bend, WI
Description
When single mother Priscilla Lynn Macy learns she's having another child unexpectedly, she packs the family into the car to escape. Eight-year-old Janie and Rainey Dae, her seventeen-year-old sister with special needs, embark on the last family vacation they'll ever take with Poppy and Grandma Mona in the back seat. The trip seems aimless until Janie realizes they are searching for the father who left them years ago. When they can't find him, they make their way to Forest Pines, South Carolina. Priscilla hasn't been to her family home in many years and finds it a mixed blessing of hope, buried secrets, and family ghosts. Through eyes of innocence, Janie learns the hard realities of life and the difficult choices grown-ups make. And she must face disturbing truths about the people she loves in order to carry them in the moments that matter most.
