Trip

Sandra dies unexpectedly at a conference in Nepal. Across the world in a desert in New Mexico, her teenage son, Trip, has run away from a centre for troubled youth.

But Sandra soon discovers that a mother s work is never done, not even when you re dead. It turns out limbo is a great place from which to keep an eye on your errant son.

When Trip is picked up on the side of the road by a strange man, Sandra is the only one who knows where he is.

As Trip ventures further south towards the coast and directly into the eye of a hurricane, Sandra s struggle to save him from the other realm begins.

From Florida s Gulf Stream to the raging seas, through Munich-bound aeroplanes and from one body to another, Trip takes us on an absurd, profound and irresistibly entertaining odyssey - a story of childhood and motherhood, life and death, and everything in between.
