June Bug

In Walmart parking lots all across America, RVs are often found at the start of the business day. At most locations, story policy allows limited free parking overnight. One morning, a little girl steps out of one of those RVs and walks to the store. Just inside, her eyes are drawn to the missing children board, and she is shocked to recognize her own face. She had no idea she was lost, nor does she know who lost her. She's never been called by the name on the poster. Her dad calls her June Bug.

This discovery begins a quest for the truth about her father, the mother he rarely speaks of, and ultimately herself. But when her fathers past catches up with them, forces beyond his control draw them back to Dogwood, West Virginia, down a winding path that will change their lives forever.

My thoughts: I got distracted when I read this was a modern interpretation of Les Miserables and instead of focusing on the characters and what was happening to them I was trying to figure out who was who from Les Mis. Once I got past that, I could concentrate on the story. I wanted a different ending but was overall satisfied.
