3.0
Well... this book was... interesting. It was quite disturbing and terrifying, but the prose was wonderful and I couldn't put it down.

Mae is a loner, dealing blackjack in Vegas and retreating to her trailer at night, where she roams the desert with a rifle. She was the victim of horrific abuse in her childhood and left home at 16, wandering out to the Haight during the Summer of Love and ending up enmeshed in a cult that committed an horrific act. She and her lover, Laurel, escaped the mass arrest by slipping out of the group home and hiding out in the desert. Now Mae is alone and she sees an image of Laurel during the aftermath of the Twin Towers crashing down on 9/11. It raises spectres in her mind and she begins to relive her past life. This book is a treatise on loneliness and living as an outsider for your entire life. Very interesting read.
