Dry Lightning

by Kevin Quigley

Fifteen-year-old Dug Harris is in trouble. After barely escaping from being killed by his stepfather, Dug finds himself alone, scared, and desperate. His solo journey across America is at turns harrowing and uplifting, where enemies lurk around every corner and friends are in short supply. The world in which he's always lived has a shadowy underside, lit only by the dry lightning exploding off in the distance, and mere survival is harder than it ever seemed. But with a little determination and a fair amount of luck, maybe at the end of the road, Dug's strange odyssey can finally lead him peace, solace, and a place to call home.
