Lost in the desert, alone and off his meds, John Kalama just wants to get back to what's left of his family-his grandfather, Daryl Redbear and sister, Jesse-on the Nisqually Reservation in the Pacific Northwest. But on his journey he is pursued by demons, plagued by spirits and mocked by an arrogant raven. Unsure if these visions are real or the effect of withdrawal symptoms, will they help or hinder his quest for familial reconciliation and an acceptance of his cultural heritage? Chuck Bradley is a man tormented by demons of his own. Endlessly driving across the country, hoping to outrace his own past and appease his guilty conscience, his life as a loner comes to a screeching halt when his path crosses with John's. Together the two of them confront their deepest fears and test the bonds of friendship as the highway carries them through a landscape more alive than either had previously realized.

Rose Marshall died in 1952 in Buckley Township, Michigan, run off the road by a man named Bobby Cross—a man who had sold his soul to live forever, and intended to use her death to pay the price of his immortality. Trouble was, he didn’t ask Rose what she thought of the idea. It’s been more than sixty years since that night, and she’s still sixteen, and she’s still running. They have names for her all over the country: the Girl in the Diner. The Phantom Prom Date. The Girl in the Green Silk Gown. Mostly she just goes by “Rose,” a hitchhiking ghost girl with her thumb out and her eyes fixed on the horizon, trying to outrace a man who never sleeps, never stops, and never gives up on the idea of claiming what’s his. She’s the angel of the overpass, she’s the darling of the truck stops, and she’s going to figure out a way to win her freedom. After all, it’s not like it can kill her. You can’t kill what’s already dead.
