YA
One year after her mom's death, seventeen-year-old Anna goes on a Kerouac-inspired road trip with her best friend, Kat. The goal: find proof of God's love. As they encounter fanatic missionaries, an enraged grizzly bear, hippie boys, and wallet-stealing girls, Anna gradually begins to face her buried emotions and her feelings for Kat. The characters are honest and believable, and Hoole's writing is insightful and poignant.
