Rainy Cain, a tough, troubled, high school senior, desperately wants to escape the confines of her life in Minneapolis where she lives with her increasingly unstable mother. When her mother’s sudden but not surprising suicide finally gives her the green light to leave and begin a new life, Rainy finds herself suddenly sucked into a whole new kind of drama when her father, Sam—who she had always believed died before she was born—escapes from prison and abducts her, forcing her to go on a cross-country trek in pursuit of millions of dollars that he believes her mother kept from a botched robbery some eighteen years prior. And on their heels the whole way is a young Minneapolis detective intent on bringing Rainy safely home. It is an odyssey that will test Rainy’s considerable instincts about sanity and madness, and will show her the limits of a life dedicated to achieving complete personal independence. Gina Wohlsdorf, whose previous novel, \u003ci\u003eSecurity\u003c\/i\u003e, was described by the \u003ci\u003eNew York Journal of Books\u003c\/i\u003e as “A fast-paced, highly evolved thriller that clearly marks Wohlsdorf as a force to be reckoned with,” delivers on that promise in Blood Highway, a tautly-paced, startling, unsettling, and surprisingly moving coming-of-age story. Gina Wohlsdorf’s critically acclaimed first novel, \u003ci\u003eSecurity\u003c\/i\u003e, was chosen as an Amazon Best Book of 2016. She lives in Colorado.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47061265449200,"sku":"9781616205638","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781616205638_p0.jpg?v=1763851400","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781616205638","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
