Excerpt

When a pink ribbon of daylight appeared on the horizon, Amelia realized that she didn’t have her glasses. She ran her hand over the empty seat next to her on the Greyhound bus as it barreled southwest along the length of Lake Erie. She checked the outside pockets of her pink puffer coat. She found a paper copy of her bus ticket to Mobile, Alabama but not her glasses.
