More DescriptionGrace, at seventeen, is a philosopher and a believer-in her own sort of religion. Tired of waiting for something to happen to her, she leaves home and sets out on a search for those out there who are like her and believe the things she does. She picks up thirteen-year-old Ember at the start of her journey. Together they travel south, learning to deal with the conditions of life on the road and the danger of how small a group they are. They meet a series of eccentric characters caught up in their own wanderlust, from traveling businessmen to truck drivers, all of whom warn them of going too deep into the woods. And yet the woods is exactly where they consider their destination to be-though they soon learn that they are quite wrong.
