With her mother long dead and her father long gone to find his fortune in Las Vegas, 15-year-old Lutie lives in the god-forsaken town of Spearfish, South Dakota with her twelve-year-old brother, Fate, and Floy Satterfield, the 300-pound ex-girlfriend of her father. While Lutie shoplifts for kicks, Fate spends most of his time reading, watching weird TV shows and worrying about global warming and the endangerment of pandas. As if their life is not dismal enough, one day, while shopping in their local Wal-Mart, Floy keels over and the two motherless kids are suddenly faced with the choice of becoming wards of the state or hightailing it out of town in Floy's old Pontiac. Choosing the latter, 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. <p/><i>Made in the U.S.A.</i> is the alternately heartbreaking and life-affirming story of two gutsy children who must discover how cruel, unfair and frightening the world is before they come to a place they can finally call home.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Billie Letts</b> was the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling and award-winning author of <i>Where the Heart Is, The Honk and Holler Opening Soon, Shoot the Moon</i>, and <i>Made in the U.S.A.</i> A native Oklahoman, she died in 2014.
