"An epic love story . . . No greater reading pleasure to be had
anywhere." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review "No one writes about
love or the American wilderness like Bill Roorbach . . .
Thrilling." --Lily King, author of Writers & Lovers and Five
Tuesdays in Winter When sixteen-year-old Cindra Zoeller is sent to
a reform camp in Montana after being involved in an armed robbery,
she is thrust into a world of mountains and cowboys and prayers and
miscreants and people from all walks of life like she's never seen
in suburban Massachusetts. At Camp Challenge, she becomes
transfixed by Lucky, a camp employee of mysterious origin--an
origin of constant speculation--and the chemistry between them is
instant, and profound. The pair escape together into the wilderness
to create an idyllic life far from the reach of the law, living off
their resounding love, Lucky's vast knowledge of the wilderness,
and a little help from some friends. But they can run from the
outside world for only so long, and the consequences of their naive
fantasy of a future together--and circumstances shaped by skin
color--will keep them apart for decades. Cindra gets trapped in a
relationship, safely if stultifyingly suburban, where she is both
cosseted and controlled by a man who claims to be her rescuer. But
for Cindra, there will never be another Lucky, and she dreams of
one day finding him, the only man she's ever fully trusted, her
soulmate. Page-turning, full of vivid characters, delicious
suspense, and ultimately joy, Lucky Turtle is a big- hearted,
deeply engrossing love story from one of our most entertaining and
perceptive writers.
