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.
