Mitchard is the author of the bestseller The Deep End of the Ocean.
From inside the jacket: "Arley Mowbray, only fourteen years old, is dreaming girlhood dreams in South Texas when, on a dare, she writes a letter to an imprisoned robber nearly twice her age. Almost overnight, the story of Arley and Dillon LeGrande becomes the stuff of legend. Their lives intertwine with rhythms of age-old tales of love, too reckless to last, too mesmerizing to flee."
"Transformed from an innocent to an outlaw's wife, and then the mother of his child, Arley unwittingly draws another into the eye of the hurricane..." and a public aid lawyer, Annie Singer, becomes the closest thing to a mother Arley has ever known and has to "stand between the girl and the storm."
