Sweet Lips, Tennessee . . . Toad Suck, Arkansas . . .
Okay, Oklahoma . . . Truth or Consequences, New Mexico . .
. Maeve Connelly's epic road trip is taking her through every
colorfully named tiny town in America on her way to the far
less imaginatively named Los Angeles, California. With her
foulmouthed cockatiel, Oliver, her only companion, Maeve's
heading way off the beaten track with little money and a
load of painful baggage she wants to leave behind. But when
her beloved rattletrap, "Elsie," breaks down outside
Unknown, Arizona, she finds herself taking a much longer
rest stop than she anticipated. The only mechanic in the
vicinity is on an indefinite walkabout, so Maeve's in for
the long haul?and she'll need to find two jobs to pay for
Elsie's eventual repair. But she's starting to feel
strangely at home among the quirky denizens of
Unknown?especially around her new bookstore owner boss?so
Maeve is seriously considering saying good-bye to Hollywood
for good . . . if she can keep her past troubles from coming
to light.
