NO ROAD OFFERS MORE MYSTERY than that first one you mount from the town you were born to, the first time you mount it of your own volition, on a trip funded by your own coffee tin of wrinkled up dollars-bills you've saved and scrounged for, worked the all-night switch-board for, missed the Rolling Stones for, sold fragrant pot with smashed flowers going brown inside twist-tie plastic baggies for.

"In this sequel, Karr dashes down the trail of the teen years with customary sass, only to run up against the paralyzing self-doubt of a girl in bloom. She flees the thrills and terrors of her sexual awakening by butting up against authority in all its forms - from the school principal to various Texas law officers. Looking for a lover or heart's companion who'll make her feel whole, she hooks up with an outrageous band of surfers and heads, wannable yogis and bone fide geniuses.
There's Meredith, who tempers Karr's penchant for rock and roll with literary wit. And Donnie is the wild-man beach aficionado who crawls into her life "on his hands and knees like a reptile.""--BOOK JACKET.
