She's Running on Fumes

A desperate mom will do anything to keep her family afloat--and grand theft auto is just the start.

It's summer 1984 in Deepwater, Missouri, and Jean's husband has just scrambled his own eggs in a horrific car wreck. That, Jean can handle. The fifty thousand dollars worth of cocaine missing from his trunk? That's a little harder. What's a good woman to do?

She'll start by throwing "good" out the window. Stealing cars and chopping them up makes a living, if not a great one. But the criminal life isn't exactly family-friendly, and it sure as hell ain't easy.

Inspired by events from writer Dennis Hopeless' own childhood, She's Running on Fumes is a heartfelt, bittersweet exploration of what keeps a family together, now in print for the first time!
