The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise
This one wrapped me up and didn't let me go. I ugly-cried in public at the end. It was unique and beautiful and it will stick with me for a long time. Coyote and her father have lived on a bus - driving around the country - for five years... since "it" happened. During a phone call from her Grandma, Coyote learns that the local park where she used to live is being demolished. There is a memory box under a tree there that she HAS to retrieve. She promised. But her dad vowed never to go back there. It's a no-go. Coyote stands up to her father, and the ghosts of her past, and begins the journey back to her family. Along the way, the pick up a glorious cast of characters who help them find their way home. I adored this book. (FIC GEM)
