Coyote and Rodeo have traveled the country in an old school bus for five years, trying to move forward and put the past, an accident that took the lives of Coyote’s two sisters and mother, behind them. But when Coyote learns that a park in their former home town is being dug up, she has to get her dad (Rodeo) to take her home, something he has always refused to do. Coyote, her mom and sisters buried a special box of memories in that park that she desperately needs to retrieve. How can she get Rodeo to travel across the country without telling him the reason – in just a few days? Coyote, just like the animal from which she adopted her name, is a sly one and has a few tricks up her sleeve. Fortunately, the caring people they meet along the way want to help her out. Spoiler alert: Have tissues ready for the last 50 pages!
