Description

Clear-eyed and spirited, Taylor Greer was raised poor in rural Kentucky with the goals of avoiding pregnancy and getting away. Nevertheless when she heads west with high hopes and a barely functional car, she meets the human condition head on. By the full time Taylor comes in Tucson, Arizona, she's obtained a totally unexpected baby, a three-year-old American-Indian girl named Turtle, and must somehow arrived at terms with both motherhood and the need for putting down roots. Hers is just a tale about love and friendship, abandonment and belonging, and the discovery of surprising resources in apparently empty places.
