“An epic love story . . . No greater reading pleasure to be had anywhere.” —Kirkus Reviews,starred review
No one writes about love or the American wilderness like Bill Roorbach. His novel Lucky Turtle is a thrilling and heart-wrenching tale of two young lovers who escape into the wilderness to create an idyllic life far from the reach of the law. But their naïve fantasy of a future together is shattered by the consequences of their skin color and circumstances. Cindra, a sixteen-year-old girl from suburban Massachusetts, is sent to a reform camp in Montana after being involved in an armed robbery. At Camp Challenge, she meets Lucky, a camp employee of mysterious origin, and the chemistry between them is instant and profound. The pair escape together into the wilderness, living off their resounding love, Lucky's vast knowledge of the wilderness, and a little help from some friends.
But they can run from the outside world for only so long, and the consequences of their naïve fantasy of a future together will keep them apart for decades. Cindra gets trapped in a relationship with a man who claims to be her rescuer, but for Cindra, there will never be another Lucky, and she dreams of one day finding him, the only man she's ever fully trusted, her soulmate. Lucky Turtle is a page-turning, vivid, and deeply engrossing love story from one of our most entertaining and perceptive writers. It is a testament to the power of love and the resilience of the human spirit.
