O knihe

When Jane Meadows is jilted on her wedding day, watching the love of her life, Bobby Logan, speed away on his motorcycle to pursue a musical career in New York City, she refuses her mother's good advice, who tells her to let him be. Instead, she enlists Joann Dertz, a.k.a Jo Dert, her pistol-packing best friend from Moundsville, to join her on a manhunt to Manhattan Isle.
They weren't alone on the chase. Logan's notorious uncle, Earnest Kitchi, a Native American video producer with his own tribal motivations for the wedding, assembles a posse to bring him back to West Virginia, dead or alive.
Jane's widowed mother, Claire, afraid of losing her only daughter and grandchild, also joins the road trip with the irrepressible Right Reverend Pete.
The well-armed Mountaineers break badly into the Big Apple, encountering explosive detours, yet their insane sideshows turn them into media darlings among the curiously entertained New Yorkers.
But, with renewed motivation and the feds on their tails, Jane and her troupe track down Logan in the Lehigh Valley of Pennsylvania, where he's performing at a music festival that is pointedly in the path of one of the great East Coast floods of 2011, spawned by Hurricane Irene.
Jane and Jo find redemption on a wild riverboat ride during the flood in this tale of rectification, where valor is not limited to one gender, creed, or race.
