Description
Summary:"1979. Fifteen-year-old Aurora Taylor's single mother prefers to leave when things get hard. She's spent years abandoning bad boyfriends and dead-end jobs, without so much as a glance in the rearview mirror. After fifteen years in the passenger seat, Aurora needs more than two hands to count the towns she's lived in. She's learned to live small-it's easier to leave when you don't need to say goodbye. So when her mother, Laine, shows up at school with the car loaded, Aurora assumes her latest fling has run its course. Instead, it's her grandpa Jay's death calling them back to the town Laine has spent fifteen years running from." --
