Shelby Jane Cooper is seventeen, pretty and quiet. It's just
Shelby and her mom, Shaylene, a court stenographer who wears pyjama jeans,
stitches tapestry, eats ice-cream for dinner and likes to keep Shelby safe. So
safe she barely goes out. So safe she doesn't go to school. Because anything
could happen, to a girl like Shelby. Anything.
When Shelby gets knocked down by a car, it's not just her leg that's broken:
Shelby's world is shattered. Her mom turns up to collect her and drives off
into the night, like it's the beginning of a road trip, like two criminals on
the run, like Thelma and Louise or Bonnie and Clyde. And somehow, everywhere
she looks, there's a coyote watching her, talking to her, telling her not to
believe.
Who is Shelby Jane Cooper? If the person who keeps you safe also tells you
lies, who can you trust?
