In the new Republic of Texas, guns are compulsory and nothing is
forgiven. Blue Running is a gripping coming-of-age thriller set in
post-secessionist Texas. For fans of Station Eleven and Thelma and
Louise. Fourteen-year-old Bluebonnet Andrews is on the run across
the Republic of Texas. An accident with a gun killed her best
friend but everyone in the town of Blessing thinks it was murder.
Even her father - the town's drunken deputy - believes she did it.
Now, she has no choice but to run. In Texas, murder is punishable
by death. There's no one to help her. Her father is incapable and
her mother left the state on the last flight to America before the
secession. Blue doesn't know where she is but she's determined to
track her down. First she has to get across the lawless Republic
and over the wall that keeps everyone in. On the road she meets
Jet, a pregnant young woman of Latin American heritage. Jet is
secretive about her past but she's just as determined as Blue to
get out of Texas before she's caught and arrested. Together, the
two form an unlikely kinship as they make their way past marauding
motorcycle gangs, the ever watchful Texas Rangers, and armed
strangers intent on abducting them - or worse. When Blue and Jet
finally reach the wall, will they be able to cross the border, or
will they be shot down in cold blood like the thousands who have
gone before them? Some things are worth dying for.
