Walking on Train Tracks

Road trip! That’s all Lilly and Joey can think about. But before they are west of the Mississippi, Lilly has lost her virginity, her sister has been discharged from a hospital for eating disorders, and they meet two teenagers who join them on their road trip: a handsome, aloof, young man and a beautiful college girl who may be a lesbian. They go on a cross-country adventure—never imagining what will take place before they find their way home. Set amid the youth culture of 1978, Lilly and her friends bring readers back to a time when absolutely everything was worth questioning, and the dream of a trip to freedom was just beginning to disappear.
