Book Synopsis: ALL JOSSIE AND KERMIT WANTED WAS TO BE TOGETHER.
ALL THE WORLD WANTED WAS TO TEAR THEM APART....
Jossie Floyd and Kermit Docker were childhood sweethearts -- young, courageous, and independent.
On the run from the law, they soon come face-to-face with reality in all its contradictions -- its indifference and its humanity, its violence and its tenderness. But through it all their growing love sustains them and they begin to discover the meaning of true commitment, however temporary, however fragile.
