When single mother Priscilla Lynn Macy learns she is having another child unexpectedly, she packs the family into the car to escape. Priscilla hasn't been to her family home in years, and she finds it a mixed blessing of hope, buried secrets, and family ghosts.
"It was about four years ago, the last trip we ever took together--my mother, sister, grandparents and me. Course, we didn't know it at the time. You never know something like that, like it's the last one you'll ever get, till it's just a memory, hanging like mist. This is what happened that summer, true as I can tell it. Not a one of us was ever the same."
Part road trip, part mystery, and completely unexpected, "Saving Cicadas" picks you up in one place and puts you down someplace else entirely. It's an eloquent reminder that life is a miracle--and even the smallest soul is a gift.
..".a surprisingly creative tale that will leave readers guessing until the end."
-River Jordan, author of "Saints in Limbo"
