Every year, for as long as she can remember, horrible things have happened to Destiny Faraday on October 19th. This year, before disaster has a chance to strike, she decides to take fate into her own hands, and take off on a last minute road trip with three friends. Funny, articulate and well-written, The Miles Between tackles deep philosophical questions with a light and clever tone. A great road trip movie...only in book form! (St. Martin's Griffin, $11.53)
