Description: "This is the way the family got away: they pack everything they can up into their car, including the body of their dead baby in the trunk. They leave their house in Mineola, Texas, and travel through a landscape vacant of every thing but grief and need. They keep going to keep the family together.".

"The surviving children - a young boy and his younger sister - take turns narrating the story of their family. The boy tries to make sense of the geographical distance they travel. The girl tries to make sense of the emotional distance they travel - by playing with her doll family in place of her real family and by trying to find ways to make her little brother alive again."--BOOK JACKET.
