Publisher's Synopsis
Life sucks. Big John's wife has left him for the minister's wife. He's lost his job, and he gets absolutely no support from his frustrating family. Worst of all, no one believes Big John when he tells people that he and his pet monkey Pepe were abducted by aliens for three days.
Discouraged and alone except for Pepe, Big John heads for Death Valley in his motorhome to escape people for a while. There, he meets Vicky, who is having her own problems being accepted by society. Together, the three of them-Big John, a transgender woman, and a smart-ass monkey-form an unlikely alliance that just might save them all. Funny, clever, sad, sweet, serious, and definitely quirky-this is a book that covers a lot of ground . . . and space.
