June Bug

June Bug believed everything her daddy told her. That is, until she walked into Wal-Mart and saw her face on a list of missing children. The discovery begins a quest for the truth about her father, the mother he rarely speaks about, and ultimately herself. A modern interpretation of Les Miserables, the story follows a dilapidated RV rambling cross-country with June Bug and her father, a man running from a haunted past. Forces beyond their control draw them back to Dogwood, West Virginia, down a winding path that will change their lives forever.

"Imagine walking into a Walmart store and seeing your face on a 'missing child' poster!  Imagine doubting everything the man you love,who says he's your Dad, has ever said.  Relax and enjoy the journey as June Bug's story unfolds- the rejection by her mother, the grandmother who never gave up hoping and believing that the grandchild she loved so much was still alive.  Learn to love the 'father' who loves her enough to do the right thing -- who loves her enough to give her up."  -- Marilyn
