Synopsis
A fascinating glimpse into the lives of Irish Travelers in America, from a new voice in YA literature.
Welcome to Bridget’s world: Her family lives in a trailer, moving every so often; she’s engaged and her wedding is sooner than she’d like; and her parents want her to quit high school so she can help more with the family business. The problem is Bridget’s not sure the Traveler life is for her anymore. She feels guilty about pulling scams, and she’s definitely not sure she wants to get married, even though Patrick’s a good guy. But Bridget’s always been the good girl who does what she’s told, and there’s no way her parents will let her out of the wedding. And if she leaves the life, she’s out of the family for good.
Tautly written, with a riveting storyline and sympathetic characters coping with universal themes of family and social pressure, See You Down the Road will captivate readers to the very end.

From the Inside Flap
Bridget Daugherty’s life is pretty complicated these days: her family is constantly on the move, at sixteen she’s been promised in marriage and her wedding is sooner than she’d like, and her parents want her to quit high school so she can help more with the family business. But Bridget’s not so sure the Traveler life is for her anymore—she feels guilty about the lies she has to tell, she wonders what it would be like to live in one place, and she’s definitely not sure she wants to get married to anyone, even if Patrick can prove he’s a good guy.
Now she’s about to set off on a new adventure, one that could change her whole life. Will Bridget have what it takes to stay with her family, or will everything fall apart?
In this tautly written novel of life on the road, Bridget finds herself grappling with questions that go right to the core of who she is and what family is all about.
