Heroes of the Frontier

von Dave Eggers

Josie and her childrens father have split up, shes lost her dental practice, and her ex asks to take the children to meet his new fiancées family. Josie makes a run for it, figuring Alaska is about as far as she can get without a passport. As they drive, pushed north by the ubiquitous wildfires, Josie is chased by enemies both real and imagined, to the very edge of civilization.
