Quote:
It was to be a long-earned vacation for David Petrie and his pretty wife Donna.
A cross country tour, really, from the St. Louis Arch to the bright lights of Las Vegas--and a final chance, perhaps, for their cancer stricken young daughter Pepsi to see the world. No airplanes, no trains…just a leisurely drive together where scenic beauty and unhurried back roads might bring them closer together, hold back time just a little.
But unhurried roads sometimes lead to open deserts, merciless sun, a whole new concept of time…and a growing conviction in David’s mind that he has gotten his precious family lost in the middle of nowhere. Except “nowhere” is always “somewhere”…and the smallest of desert towns can still be a port in the rolling ocean of sand.
Until the rattling old windmill at the edge of town, the empty wind-blown streets, dark storefronts, and strange town-folk of Clear Water with their hooded glances and uneasy smiles appear not quite what they seemed. Everything—every one—is…different.
Why do you keep running away, David Petrie—only to circle back again and again--this little desert town saved your family’s lives!
…for now…
