Tammi Jean Cook is sixteen. She is also psychic. So when Tammi Jean hitches a ride from a long-haul trucker named Elvis P. Boone, she knows that when she reaches California she’s going to find her daddy . . . even though everyone else claims he’s dead. Worried about her safety, Elvis decides to take Tammi Jean to her destination The two of them set out across America, traveling from the kudzu-choked fields of South Alabama to the scenic hills of California; and along the way, Tammi Jean and Elvis become friends as the miles click by on the big Kenworth’s odometer. They encounter people like the old Cherokee woman who also sees things and warns Tammi Jean of the risks in knowing anyone’s destiny; and Prentiss Silk, a man with a sinister past and frightening plans for one innocent child’s future. There’s also the Man-in-Black. Another long-haul trucker, he too is headed for California; and he ultimately challenges Tammi Jean to explore the darker side of being psychic. When she does, however, what Tammi Jean learns changes lives . . . and changes them forever.
