Book excerpt: When her big brother is declared MIA in Vietnam, young Riley packs up her shattered heart and leaves her family, her first love, and a few small things behind. By trial and error she builds a new life, working on cars, delivering newspapers, tending bar. She befriends, rescues, and is rescued by a similarly vagabond cast of characters. Foolhardy, funny, and wise, Riley's challenge as she grows into a woman is simple: survive long enough to go home again, or at least figure out where home is, and who might be among the living there.
