Book Description
She Drove Without Stopping is the on-the-road story of brave, brainy, erotic Jane Turner. Child of the fifties, student of the sixties, her sexual identity is molded by affluent America's love affair with Freud, then set at liberty by its Sexual Revolution. Jane is the daughter of a pair of well heeled Baltimoreans whose hobbies include orchid breeding and child psychology. She was born with a strong sexual bent inherited straight from her handsome, philandering father Philip. When she was eight, Philip-on the advice of his wife's analyst-abruptly withdrew his affection from Jane. She was left dumbfounded and bereft. She Drove Without Stopping tells how Jane, at 21, strikes back, how she lights out on a cross-country search for freedom and adventure, how she settles on a life-style that's the stuff of a father's nightmare. Footloose and imprudent, Jane is a girl who will get into an old car on any excuse and drive anywhere, so long as it is far away and no one will know where she is. By the time she's come to the end of her reckless, risky year on the road, Jane's been in love, in danger, in jail, and finally, in control of her life.

Book Description
If he had been with me everything would have been different... I wasn't with Finn on that August night. But I should've been. It was raining, of course. And he and Sylvie were arguing as he drove down the slick road. No one ever says what they were arguing about. Other people think it's not important. They do not know there is another story. The story that lurks between the facts. What they do not know—the cause of the argument—is crucial. So let me tell you...

Book Description
The first Picador edition of Rebecca Miller’s debut book “remind[s] us that good material is everywhere” (The Washington Post). The vibrantly fresh and lustrous stories in Miller’s collection explore the multifaceted lives of women in seven arresting portraits. Modern and diverse, these women of different classes and ages struggle with sexuality, fate, motherhood, infidelity, desperation, and an overriding will to survive. We meet Greta, a cookbook editor who is chosen by Tavi, the hottest writer of his generation, to edit his new book. The book becomes a best-seller and Greta is propelled out of her marriage by her own ambition and success. Other characters include Paula, a pregnant twenty-one-year-old, who is on the run from the horror of a man who was hit by a car and died while walking her home from a nightclub; Delia, an abused working-class wife who goes into hiding with her children; and Louisa, a painter who moves rapidly from one lover to the next, acting out a self-perpetuating drama over which she has no control. Rebecca Miller, who also adapted Personal Velocity for the screen, has crafted an edgy, fearless, and beautifully spare collection of short fiction.
