Walk Me Home by Catherine Ryan Hyde

Synopsis:
Two sisters set out to walk from New Mexico to northern California in the hopes that their mother’s ex-boyfriend will take them in, but the theft of some eggs while traveling through a Native American reservation threatens to bring their whole scheme crashing down around their ears.

Review:
Walk Me Home had me hooked from the very first pages. Carly and her little sister Jen have such a realistic, touching relationship that I couldn’t help but become immediately invested in their journey. As the story unfolded and I realized that there were so many secrets to be uncovered and explored, I was as concerned for them as if they were my own girls. None of the characters are simple, and their layers are like unexploded bombs ready to throw everything off-kilter. Great characters, great plot, and thoroughly satisfying story.
