COYOTE LOST AND FOUND Coyote Sunrise, Book 2

Narrator Kristine Hvam uses a lively yet laid-back tone for this Covid-era story. Listeners meet 13-year-old Coyote, who is furious that her dad hid her mother's ashes for six years. After finally settling down in one place, the feisty and determined Coyote still longs for her mom. She is further angered to learn that the poetry book containing her mother's notes about her wishes for her ashes has been returned--during their wanderings--to an unknown used bookstore. Hvam's spot-on renderings of Americana and the eccentric citizens Coyote and her dad meet as they search for the book are bittersweet. Coyote's well-presented best buddy, Salvador, and a Thai American hitchhiker named Wally both motivate everyone on the road trip. The surprising conclusion will satisfy listeners.
