It is back to this fallen community that Starla Mia Martin must return to live with her overbearing mother after dropping out of university and racking up significant debt. But an economic downturn, mother-daughter drama, and Generation X disillusionment soon prove to be to be the least of Starla's troubles. A mysterious and salacious force begins to dog her; inexplicable sounds in the night and indescribable sights spotted in the periphery. Soon enough, Starla must confront the unresolved traumas that haunt Crystal Beach. \u003ci\u003eSodom Road Exit\u003c\/i\u003e might read like a conventional paranormal thriller, except that Starla is far from a conventional protagonist.

And in turn, she draws a host of capricious characters toward her--all of them challenged to seek answers beyond their own temporal realities. \u003ci\u003eSodom Road Exit\u003c\/i\u003e, the second novel by Lambda Literary Award winner Amber Dawn, is a book that's alive with both desire and dread.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmber Dawn is the author of the Lambda Literary award-winning novel \u003ci\u003eSub Rosa\u003c\/i\u003e, the Vancouver Book Award-winning memoir \u003ci\u003eHow Poetry Saved My Life\u003c\/i\u003e, and the Dorothy Livesay Poetry Prize-nominated poetry collection \u003ci\u003eWhere the words end and my body begins\u003c\/i\u003e.
