商品簡介
When Joel Dunn Jr. leaves home with his little brother Tank in tow - in a truck he hardly knows how to drive - he doesn't know where he's heading. All he knows is that his daddy is not right, his brother Carter is being held captive, and he desperately needs to find his mother, wherever she might be.
So begins their journey from the town of Trent to the North Carolina coast, as Joel and Tank search for their mother, fueled only by peanut butter, potato chips, Coke, and the powerful soul music their daddy taught them to love. Keeping the faith that she might be waiting for them, they move from one kindly stranger to another, Joel ever certain they are being guided to her door.
Caught between the endless idealism of childhood and the sobering tests of adulthood, Joel and Tank take a two-day journey that becomes a trip of a lifetime.
