内容简介：
Ivy Fay, a diminutive seventeen year-old girl from Texas, has run away from her abusive father to begin a new life with her beloved aunt in California. But for Ivy to achieve the spiritual freedom of which she has always dreamed she must rely on the friendship of Charlie Winston, a twenty-one year-old drug mule struggling to endure the trauma of his own family tragedy. And if their fragile relationship is to survive, Ivy must confront a hostile world of drug dealers, religious proselytizers, and police-as well as the lingering presence of her father's psychological shadow. "South of the Moon" explores the depths of personal freedom, the boundaries of belief in America, and the redemptive power of friendship found on a lyrical journey through the American Southwest.
