Overview
āAn urgent read. A courageous life. Quinnās story burns through us and bleeds beauty on every page.āāNoĆ© Ćlvarez, author ofĀ Spirit Run: A 6,000-Mile Marathon Through North Americaās Stolen Land
After a childhood marked by neglect, poverty, and periods of homelessness, with a mother who believed herself to be the reincarnation of the Virgin Mary, Carrot Quinn moved out on her own. 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.
The Sunset Route is a powerful and brazenly honest adventure memoir set in the unseen corners of the United Statesāin the Alaskan cold, on trains rattling through forests and deserts, as well as in low-income apartments and crowded punk housesāfollowing 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.
