ITHACA
At ten years of age, Dawn is abducted from her foster home and sold to the owner of a seedy strip club deep down in Texas.  She is raised on bar food, mystery novels, and hard work.  The motley group of inhabitants provides a practical and eclectic education, and plenty of entertainment. At seventeen, she becomes fixated on an old conversation she had with her real mother when she was a small child, right before she was taken to the foster home.  Her mother had told her to “come to Ithaca” when she was of age, and that she would be waiting.

When the club burns down, Dawn embarks on an odyssey that takes her all over the United States, from a biker’s compound in the Arizona desert, up to mountain towns in Utah and Colorado, through the barrens of Kansas, to hospitals and jails, to sprawling cities and abandoned National parks.  With no money, no family, and no connections, she has only her wits and luck to overcome the obstacles that await her.

Ithaca is the story of her journey.

Look for more around the second quarter of 2012.
