Tracee and Lana are running away from their lives when they meet Rita, also a runaway woman. A car accident strands them on a rural highway in North Carolina, and they seek shelter in what appears to be an abandoned building. In fact, it is a nightclub that features Marcel, a retired circus lion. They start working at the nightclub to make enough money to repair the car and be on their way. As we learn about their different reasons for running, they start to rebuild their lives and face truths about themselves.
This was my book club selection for October. It has a slow start, but then picks up and is fairly entertaining. It's not a must-read but if you're in between books and waiting for a reserve, then this could fill the void nicely.
