Lorelei is trapped in a demoralizing job at a toxic workplace. As a coping mechanism, she has developed a habit of bathroom camping to hide from her obnoxious boss and the endless stress in her life. Just when she thinks things couldn't get any worse, she witnesses a heinous crime and is forced to flee from a brutal human-trafficking operation hellbent on either killing or deporting her. Bizarre misadventures-both harrowing and comical-ensue as she embarks on the New Underground Railroad, crisscrossing the United States in a desperate struggle to find safety and freedom.
Lorelei's tragicomic odyssey is a story for our times. It's an exploration of the dark shadows of U.S. society, where marginalized people face systemic injustice and frequent predation, conveyed with sardonic wit, fast-paced action, and underlying empathy.
