She found a sense of belonging among straight-edge anarchists who taught her how to traverse the country by freight trains, sleep in fields under the stars, and feed herself by foraging in dumpsters. Her new life was one of thrilling adventure and freedom, but still she was haunted by the ghosts of her lonely and traumatic childhood. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Sunset Route \u003c\/i\u003eis a powerful and brazenly honest adventure memoir set in the unseen corners of the United States--in the Alaskan cold, on trains rattling through forests and deserts, as well as in low-income apartments and crowded punk houses--following a remarkable protagonist who has witnessed more tragedy than she thought she could ever endure and who must learn to heal her own heart. Ultimately, it is a meditation on the natural world as a spiritual anchor, and on the ways that forgiveness can set us free.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carrot Quinn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0593133285\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780593133286\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dial Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/06\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.40w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/17\/2021","brand":"Carrot Quinn","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44054964175103,"sku":"9780593133286","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a37aa664-3330-418c-8f2a-cf3c9877950f.jpg?v=1685033001","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-sunset-route-carrot-quinn-9780593133286","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
