Her father, a drug dealer, mortgaged his house in order to pay bail. After getting out of prison, Dolly's father disappeared. Dolly must find her father or she and her family will move to the woods of the Ozark Mountains in Missouri. Dolly's family and her father's close friends have remained silent about her need to go out in search of her father. Along the way, Dolly is left alone to face the lies, excuses for fleeing, and the fears and shut-ins that her relatives "prepare" for her. Can she find her father? Can she learn the truth of the world where human feelings are warm and warm and the world is hot?
