Made in the USA x, 367 p Cover subtitle: A novel Summary: With her mother long dead and her father long gone to find his fortune in Las Vegas, 15-year-old Lutie McFee lives in Spearfish, South Dakota with her twelve-year-old brother, Fate, and Floy Satterfield, her father's ex-girlfriend. Lutie shoplifts for kicks, and Fate spends his time reading, watching weird TV shows and worrying about global warming. Then Floy keels over and the children are faced with the choice of becoming wards of the state or hightailing it out of town in Floy's old Pontiac. They head off to Las Vegas in search of a father who has no known address, no phone number and, clearly, no interest in the kids he left behind
