This is a wonderful book, and it is difficult to do it total justice in my review. I think its definitely a woman/girl's kind of book, and is good for any mature teen girl or adult female. The story is about one girl's journey to 'get away' from her home in Kentucky and drive her ramshackle little vehicle as far from home as possible. A beautiful and vivid commentary on life, it has an underlying spirit which betrays (among other themes) the theme of: 'It is the journey and not the destination, that matters.' | ||
