Description:

When “good enough” is no longer a viable excuse for complacency, seventeen-year-old Maggie Duffy (autodidact and auto parts store clerk) runs away from her dysfunctional family and mythical town of Pothole, Ohio to—as Clara, her best friend, had scolded—“shine someplace else.” By the time Los Angeles discovers “Maggie-D, the body-double sensation”, she'll have already experienced an unconventional journey into adulthood, paving her way to realize her “cartoon dream.” This is a story about living, loving, unconditionally — fearlessly, of finding your bliss; about girl power, and people power! Set primarily in Southern California and Cappadocia, Turkey—between the years 1985 and 1993—Pothole will delight those who are pondering their in-reach opportunities, the armchair travelers and, in general, those readers who like their protagonists to live unapologetically, abundantly, graciously.
