Sandra dies unexpectedly at a conference in Nepal. Across the world, her teenage son, Trip, has run away from a treatment center in the American desert.
Trip is not sure where to go next - but a strange man picks him up on the side of a road. As Sandra roves through the past and present in her state of limbo, Trip and his new companion, Anthony, venture farther south toward the coast, directly into a hurricane. When Sandra learns what has happened to her son, her struggle to help him from the other realm begins.
Amie Barrodale’s gripping dual odyssey of mother and son takes us from Florida’s Gulf Stream to the raging seas, on Munich-bound airplanes, from body to body. It’s about childhood and motherhood, life and death, and everything in between. Blazingly funny and achingly moving, Trip brings us the deeper meaning of The Tibetan Book of the Dead: the past is a memory, the future is a projection, the present is gone before we can see it.
Amie Barrodale's stories and essays have appeared in The Paris Review, Harper's Magazine, and other publications. In 2012 she was awarded The Paris Review's Plimpton Prize for Fiction for her story "William Wei." She is the author of You Are Having a Good Time: Stories.
