After Amy's father dies, her mother moves from California to Connecticut, leaving Amy and nineteen-year-old Roger, a family friend, to drive out to meet her. The teens diverge from Amy's mother's itinerary in favor of exploring the country, discovering things along the way they didn't even know they were looking for. Likable characters and unpredictable adventures propel the sometimes slow plot.
