On the Run with Dick and Jane - Paperback

by Robert Gover (Author)

Twelve year-old Jane Doyle is escaping an oppressive North Carolina group home. Sixty-three year-old Dick Steel is grieving the death of his beloved wife and coping with insurmountable medical bills. When Dick packs his van for a cross-country drive to California, Jane stows onboard. She threatens to accuse Dick of rape if he turns her over to the police. It's a stalemate until Dick learns that Jane is fleeing people who will sell her into an overseas sex slavery operation. Halfway across America, Dick decides to make a stand. This odd couple from society's demographic fringe must deal with those determined to recapture Jane to save their own skins.
