Near Fine. Book 2nd printing, light soiling at page edges else near fine of this trade paperback. Pam Nilson, her reluctant sleuth, is struggling to maintain the collective which runs her family's printing business while her twin sister picks coffee beans in Nicaragua. She is also nursing a broken heart after her first woman lover has left town. Naturally her good Samaritan rescue of two young women introduces murder, prostitution, drug dealers, and incest into her already strained life. When one of the girls dies from a beating and the other disappears Pam scours the streets of Seattle and Portland to find her and seek some answers to how a 14-year-old becomes hardened by drugs and crime. The trail leads through scummy artist's lofts, shelters for homeless teens, and inevitably (and sadly) back to the family. It is Pam's capacity for caring about people that makes this novel so compelling.

According to this wikipedia entry, 'Sister[sic] of the Road' was written by Ben L. Reitman. I read this book for a comp lit class at the University of Minnesota with Vlad Godzich during the spring quarter of 1988. According to other online sources that I've checked, Reitman died in 1930. This book was published in 1986 by Seal Press. I've tried to correct this very large error on wikipedia but have not have success. Barbara Wilson might want to check out the wikipedia citation (URL) above and contact wikipedia. I do not know how to find the author, Barbara Wilson. If someone here knows her, they might want to pass this on to her.
