Eleven-year-old Kiwi Seager knows two things: She will be going to hell someday, and, worse, her mother can no longer love her. Kiwi has done something no mother could ever forgive, something that has forced this mother and daughter to flee their California home...and to accept the help of strangers.

Can they run fast enough and far enough to lose the evil following them? Or does new danger await them, wearing the face of a Good Samaritan?

Kiwi holds out little hope of a mother and child reunion, but for now being together is better than nothing.
