![]() What she doesn't count on, however, is her flighty '55 Volkswagon temporarily "giving out" in the Oklahoma flatlands or the ditching of a dumbstruck Indian baby in the car while she has it fixed. To avoid the latter, Taylor, born Marietta, sets out on a set of the former to find a new life in the West. Taylor Greer has always been afraid of two things: tires, one of which she saw explode and cripple a local tobacco farmer and pregnancy, the common, constricting fate of her own mother and, generally, of young girls in Pittman County, KY, where she has grown up. A warmhearted and highly entertaining first novel in which a poor but plucky Kentucky gift with a sharp tongue, soft heart and strong spirit sets out on a cross-country trip and arrives at surprising new meanings for love, friendship, and family-as well as overcoming the big and little fears that inhibit lives. ![]()
