Publisher’s back cover description: Glenna Daniels faces a midlife cut-de-sac. She bears a recent miscarriage and a third divorce the way her Appalachian parents taught her to cope with tragedy — in stoic secrecy. She quits her social work position in Knoxville and runs away from home at the age of thirty-six, heading west with her childhood friend, Carey, a gay professor in Atlanta. During her years in school, Glenna protected him from bullies. Now Carey is her savvy guide as she tries to heal her fractured life. Through the wilds of America Glenna grapples with the past and reconciles a way back home.
