But you probably know the author of these academic tomes, Kathy Reichs, the forensic anthropologist who turned her expertise into a series of best-selling mystery novels starring Temperance “Tempe” Brennan - which themselves inspired the hit TV series “Bones.” From Kerry Reichs, author of The Best Day of Someone Else's Life, comes a poignant and very funny new novel about finding yourself after finding yourself in the middle of nowhere.Perhaps you’ve read “Forensic Osteology: Advances in the Identification of Human Remains.” Or the haunting “Hominid Origins: Inquiries Past and Present.” if she can keep her past troubles from coming to light. But she's starting to feel strangely at home among the quirky denizens of Unknown - especially around her new bookstore owner boss - so Maeve is seriously considering saying good-bye to Hollywood for good. The only mechanic in the vicinity is on an indefinite walkabout, so Maeve's in for the long haul - and she'll need to find two jobs to pay for Elsie's eventual repair. But when her beloved rattletrap, "Elsie," breaks down outside Unknown, Arizona, she finds herself taking a much longer rest stop than she anticipated. With her foulmouthed cockatiel, Oliver, her only companion, Maeve's heading way off the beaten track with little money and a load of painful baggage she wants to leave behind. Maeve Connelly's epic road trip is taking her through every colorfully named tiny town in America on her way to the far less imaginatively named Los Angeles, California.
