Description

Somewhere out West is a town no one knows about - a desert town whose inhabitants wait for the day a great earthquake will bring them beachfront property. Here, two young lovers on the run from the Mob will learn that love is more than just another four-letter word. A once-beautiful, now-broken woman will let the demons of her past pull her down into a thick soup of depravity and death. A betrayed little girl running from everything will decide to help someone and be scarred forever. And a big lug with big dreams will achieve fame and glory and then throw it all away. These are just some of the people whose tales will stick in your gut for the rest of your days.

Description

"When seven-year-old Virginia Applejack witnesses a brutal double murder, her life and the lives of everyone around her are changed forever. Across years and miles, lives are destroyed and hearts and minds broken. From the rough school yard of a Baltimore suburb and the wild parties of the city's underbelly to a harrowing look into the violent corners of the imagination, a picture unfolds - a frightening portrait leading inescapably to a lonely road in Northern California and a fateful end for a young woman looking for love"--Page 4 of cover.
