Touch and Go (Unbridled Books)

To escape an addiction, Kevin, a young blind man in California, steps into a station wagon with his friends and their foster kids to deliver a handmade casket to a dying grandfather in Florida. While crossing the country, this rag-tag American family falls prey to love and lies, greed and violence, crime and Katrina. With a voice reminiscent of John Irving, Nodine produces a classic road-picture novel that is part Travels with Charley, part As I Lay Dying, and part On The Road. Written by a Santa Cruz author, Touch and Go is a rich and rangy story about the careful and careless ways we treat each other, and ourselves, in a fast-paced, changing world. A compassionate, multicultural portrait of a true America.
