Your destination is on the left (1st paperback ed)

Dessa Rhodes is a modern day nomad. Her family travels in an RV, their lives defined by state lines, exit signs, and the small communal caravan they call home.

Among them is Cyrus, her best friend and long-time crush, whom she knows she can never be with.

When your families are perpetually linked, it's too dangerous to take a risk on romance.

Instead, Dessa looks to the future. She wants to be a real artist and going to art school is her ticket to success and a new life.

There's just one problem: she hasn't been accepted anywhere.

Suddenly her future is wide open, and it looks like she's going to be stuck travelling forever.

Then an unexpected opportunity presents itself: an internship working with a local artist in Santa Fe.

Dessa struggles to prove to her boss - and herself - that she belongs there, but just as she finally hits her stride, her family suffers an unexpected blow.
