Alma Rose - Tapa blanda

From a gifted new storyteller comes a warm, funny and endearing tale of life and love off the beaten track. Pat Lloyd has spent her entire life in Kilgore - a small town off the Interstate set amidst the subtle beauty of the rolling hills and sagebrush-covered plains of the West. Known by all the townspeople as intelligent, likeable, and a bit odd, Pat works at her Pop's mercantile and fills the rest of her hours with mail order books and the solitude of day dreams. But just when Pat's existence seems settled, Alma Rose, a charming and vivacious trucker with elaborately tooled cowboy boots and a mouth that gallops ahead of her mind, rumbles off the highway and into Pat's life, changing it forever. Inspired by her passion for Alma Rose and the unforeseen intensity of desire, Pat transforms her life into a startling - and monumental - testament to the power of love. A brilliant debut novel filled with memorable characters and the vibrant spirit of the West, Alma Rose will strike a chord in the heart of every reader.
