Lou Ann {Ruiz}, whose husband has just left her and their newborn son, rents room in her house to Taylor andTurtle, and the foursome go on to build a chosen family that includes Guatemalan refugees and elderly neighbors." (Ms)
| | | | From The Publisher
Clear-eyed and spirited, Taylor Greer grew up poor in rural Kentucky with the goals of avoiding pregnancy and getting away. But when she heads west with high hopes and a barely functional car, she meets the human condition head-on. By the time Taylor arrives in Tucson, Arizona, she has acquired a completely unexpected child, a three-year-old American Indian girl named Turtle, and must somehow come to terms with both motherhood and the necessity for putting down roots. Hers is a story about love and friendship, abandonment and belonging, and the discovery of surprising resources in apparently empty places.
