Clear-eyed and spirited, Taylor Greer grew up poor in rural Kentucky with the goals of avoiding pregnancy and getting away. But when she heads west with high hopes and a barely functional car, she meets the human condition head-on. By the time Taylor arrives in Tucson , Arizonia , she has aquired a completely unexpected child, a three-year-old American Indian girl named turtle and must somehow come to terms with both motherhood and the necessity of putting down roots. Hers is a story about love friendship, abandonment and belonging, and the discovery of surprising resources in apparently empty places
