Set in the summer of 1981, the story follows a young woman driving across the country in a graduation-gift Mustang, ostensibly to track down the mother who left her years earlier — a plan that unravels once she and her childhood friend pick up a stranger along the way. It’s a road novel at heart, built around freedom, friendship, and the particular danger of trusting the wrong person when you’re young and far from home.
