Her father and brother enact that 'sub'-ness on her, week in, week out. She has only the vaguest notion that there is something wrong with the abuse she endures and instead dreams of the outside world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd then one day, Aggie walks out, and like the armadillos that flourish in Texas' barren landscape, she is a survivor...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn her escape, she gravitates to those who are just as maltreated as her. They offer Aggie the sense of family, albeit a thoroughly dysfunctional one, that she's been searching for. But when she gets embroiled in a crisis involving stolen money, Aggie soon realises there are some problems you can't run away from.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLynch stuns in this dark debut tale chronicling the journey of a young girl's escape from an abusive family who despite all odds manages to survive.
