It's the summer of '95.

Morgan Parker has had enough.

She just graduated from high school and what is she doing? Looking after her mother's mid-life child. No one understands her dreams. No one supports her interests. She has to get away. Maybe meeting her dad, her real dad, will change her life.

Across town, Joshua Hampton is also fed up.

His father brought dishonor on the family and he wants to make amends - by joining the U.S. Marines. But first, he wants to visit his uncle who served. He's a hero.

Josh and Morgan barely know each other, and have nothing in common except their destination: Seattle. After a drunken declaration at a party, they find themselves thrust together on the open road.

Seattle is a long way from their home of Bathurst, New Brunswick, but they're certain they can make it. They're grownups now. What could go wrong?

Almost everything.

However, when you keep you eyes on the road, you never know what you might see at the end. Join Morgan and Josh in this riveting coming of age story that will keep you buckled in until the last page.
