Publisher's Synopsis
Fiction. THIRTY MILES TO ROSEBUD depicts a series of imploding families and fast interstates. Barbara Henning's landscapes--a rust-belt childhood, a nearly forgotten East Village Bohemia and the arid Southwest streaked with the setting sun--are populated by runaways, lost loves and lifelong betrayals. In this remarkable novel, Henning's eye for detail and her emotional honesty enables the past to loom in the rear-view mirror long after the car has sped by--Donald Breckenridge.
