Disappointed.
I wanted to use this book to plan some interesting stops along and off of I-40.However, there are minimal maps and unless you look up every single town in each division of Tennessee, you have no idea if they are anywhere near I-40 or not.When I have purchased from the "Off the Beaten Path" guides in the past, they had maps with the places discussed marked at least in some way.I frankly don't know how you would much use this book to plan a trip across Tennesee.It would only be helpful if you lived there and wanted to explore around a segment of the state. ...

Product Description
Playing solitaire is about the only thing from before "the incident" that Ellie will allow to be a part of her new life. Of course, her memories aren't all bad. There are the good times she had shared with Mama, before the illness took her away. But always, always, creeping in when Ellie least expects it, there's Daddy. Out there...somewhere. Even starting her new life with Grandpa can't change the fact of Daddy. And what he did. And what he could still do.

But when it comes to Daddy, Ellie has decided that only she--and not luck, chance, or fate--will determine how the final hand is played. ... Read more

One of the best
This is a fabulous story, magnificently-written, wonderful characters, and absolutely unforgettable. One of the best YA books I've ever read....and I've read a lot now. My daughter (13) also loved it.

Playing Solitaire
I thought that the book was great because there was a lot of funny,sad,and exciting parts in the book that I really liked about Playing Solitaire. Noone inmy class wanted to put the book down because Ellie is a girl who doesn't have a mother and her father cut off some of her fingers.But the only people in her life is Dex,Joy,and grandpa that loved her.
