Publisher's Synopsis
Two girls in love, a Honda Civic, and America. What could go wrong? Antoinette Sjangri is a painfully intelligent high school student, plagued by her keen sense of irony and her mysterious visions of Harriet Tubman, John Brown, and a thousand-foot-tall naked angel. At the end of junior year, her father is killed in a fiery car crash. Her mother took off with a stockbroker when she was twelve. So there's nothing to keep her here on the east coast, except her love for the extraordinary Peggy Squash. On her eighteenth birthday, she hops in Peggy's car and they head west together, hoping to make it to California without meeting any police or serial killers. What they don't know is that each of them is harboring a terrible truth whose revelation could make them lose each other forever.
