Only Passing Through

By S. Tate Drucker

If I'm willing to end it all, am I willing to run to the west?These melancholy words repeat over and over again in high school freshman Melissa Redding's head as she walks the gray, empty streets of Scranton, Pennslyvania. The heavy weight of dark secrets, a painful past, inescapable days and nights, and longing to break away to a better place 2,600 miles west of Scranton starts to seep into Melissa's aching bones. Then finally when the night comes that will change the course of Melissa's life forever, she knows there is nothing else to do but grab her bag, her camera, run into the night, and watch though the train window as Scranton disappears into the shadows behind her.In this praised novel about escape, courage, and hope, the idea of American hospitality and everything the open road has to offer will be renewed as a young headstrong girl looks every state, every face, and every step of her journey through the pictures on her camera.
