Meet Taylor Greer. Clear-eted and spirited, she grew up in rural Kentucky with two goals: the avoid pregnancy and to get away. She succeeds on both counts when she buys a '55 Volkswagen and heads west. But by the time our plucky if unlikely heroine pulls up on the outskirts of Tucson, Arizona, at an auto repair shop called JESUS IS LORD USED TYRES that also happens to be a sanctuary for Central American refugees, she "inherited" a three-year-old American Indian girl named Turtle. What follows - as Taylor meets the human condition head-on - is at heart of this memorable novel about love and friendship, abandonment and belonging, and the discovery of surprising resources in apparently empty places.
