The characters were fascinating, but I was disappointed that the author did not delve more into HOW the main character got to school, no matter where she and her mother ended up. It was unrealistic to expect that she would just walk into a new school, time after time and just be accepted, and that there was coordination between the many places she learned. I wouldn't pick on this point, but she does, talking about how her mother would do ANYTHING to make sure that she wouldn't miss a day of school, and yet, there were so many days on the road.

I'm giving this a 3 star because the book held my attention long enough to finish it. I was attracted to the book because of the diner involved in the story. So the writing was good, it was just so depressing for me.
Can a female writer be a mysogynist? If so, then Weatherwax is. The main character is a cardboard cutout and entirely unbelieavable. But Weatherwax is a very good writer.
