"Tim Sandlin's stuff is as tight and funny as anyone doing this comedy novel thing."
-Christopher Moore
Everyone in GroVont, Wyoming, knows everybody else's business, but Maurey Pierce Talbot is practically famous around town. Sunk low since her father died, whiskey- specifically Yukon Jack-is her best friend. When she makes the mistake of a lifetime, Maurey finds herself looking up from rock bottom.
So when two bumbling ex-drunks need to get cross-country with a trailer full of illegal beer, Maurey takes the wheel. Sometimes you just need to get out of town. And sometimes you need to get lost in order to get found.
"Able storytelling and an engaging cast of dysfunctional modern American pilgrims animate this winning tale of the road... Sandlin fashions a convincing tale of redemption."
-Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"A rousing piece of Americana...rowdy, raunchy...A total delight."
-Library Journal

Maurey Pierce Talbot is a pain in the ass. She's also an alcoholic. This second book in the GroVont series is told from her point of view. As obnoxious as she is, I've never cheered harder for a fictional character.
If you liked , the first GroVont book, you'll probably like this one even more. I certainly did. The characters are varied and interesting, and alcohol isn't the only villain that Maurey has to deal with on this road trip from Wyoming to North Carolina.
