Floating Author:Robin Troy FLOATING is a poignant and sharply original novel about the fragile boundaries between desire, love, and betrayal. For most people, Whitticker, Arizona, population 641, is just a rest stop on a highway to somewhere else. But for twenty-five-year-old Ruby Pearson, there is nowhere else. With her husband in jail and an eight-year-old son at home... more », Ruby knows what she wants and what she doesn't. And she is determined to break free of a life going nowhere. When a pickup-truck cowboy named Sean rolls in off the interstate, bringing with him a world of possibilities, Ruby gets her chance. Problem is, Sean's her husband's brother, her son's uncle...and maybe her best shot at true love and a ticket out. Winner of the MTV Fiction Contest. "A great debut, Troy tells a story in a way that makes you feel you're right there in the trailer park with her characters." (Amazon.com)« less
