In Our Lady of Route 52, Sarah Fletcher and Phoebe McMasters are looking for trouble. All they want is a chance to cut class, break a few rules and avoid the notice of their school principal and the local police. But when a mysterious woman appears at their local after-school hangout, confusion erupts, tempers flare and friendships are tested. And when seventh-grader Meg becomes convinced that the stranger may be much more than she appears to be, this moving drama takes a very unexpected turn.
