by Paticia Carney (Author)
Set in the late 1970s, Trudy finds herself abandoned at a truck stop by Harold Faust, the attorney who counseled her through an unwanted pregnancy and adoption. The unlikely hero of the story is Mac, a trucker, Vietnam Vet and survivor of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Surprised to find Trudy, Mac asked, "What the hell are you doing here?"
Mac offers to take Trudy back to Milson, a Midwestern city where they both now live, connected by Jackie, Mac's girlfriend and Trudy's employer. The plot doubles back to the prior year, finding Trudy full of hope with plans to enroll at the university. But now, Trudy insists she can't and won't return. Mac has to decide between abandoning Trudy or taking her along on his road trip. Like Huckleberry Finn and Jim floating down the Mississippi river escaping racism, Mac and Trudy drive the modern river of life, the Interstate Highway, exploring the structures of a patriarchal culture, and the new rights women fought for including the right to self-autonomy and reproductive freedom following the Supreme Court ruling of Roe v. Wade.
Patricia Carney, a writer and poet, lives along the south shore of Lake Michigan, Cudahy, Wisconsin.
