That s how long twelve-year-old Coyote and her dad, River, have lived on the road in an old school bus, criss-crossing the nation.
It s also how long ago Coyote lost her mum and two sisters.
Coyote hasn t been home in all that time, but when she learns that the park in her old neighborhood is being demolished - the very same park where she, her mum, and her sisters buried a treasured memory box - she devises an elaborate plan to get her dad to drive 3,600 miles back to Washington state . . . without him realising it.
On the way, they ll pick up an eclectic group of folks. Lester has a lady love to meet. Salvador and his mom are looking to start over. Val needs a safe place to be herself. Coyote will learn that going home can sometimes be the hardest journey of all, but that with friends, she just might be able to turn her `once upon a time into a `happily ever after.
