Don't miss this one!" -Alyssa Palombo, author of The Borgia Confessions In 2018, a young woman - recovering from a horrific car accident and coming to terms with what it means to be disabled - is failing at managing a growing pain-pill addiction and holding down a job. When she stumbles upon an old box in the attic, full of 1960s memorabilia, She begins a frantic search to uncover the secrets of the box and find out where she came from, in the hopes that it will help her save her from herself. Her search uncovers the story of Bobbi, a 1960s a teenage girl from Athens, Georgia, who dreams of meeting her hero, Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy. Disillusioned by the Vietnam war, Bobbi joins up with a group of young activists who are headed to Washington, D.C. to participate in the Poor People's Campaign and Bobby Kennedy's bid for President. Years later, in the 1990s, Bobbi's daughter makes a rash decision to hop on a bus and head to Seattle to start a new life.

Set against the backdrop of the grunge music scene, she grapples with a newfound addiction and a secret shame.
