Possessed of a murderous streak, Hester has always Possessed of a murderous streak, Hester has always known that one day she’ll kill her father. When her 40th birthday is marked by an oncologist’s diagnosis of terminal cancer, she decides to walk away from her outwardly successful life and take a road trip to California: final destination Dad’s house, to deliver a bullet to his treacherous brain. In the fabulous debut, Bad Nature by Ariel Courage, we join Hester in a chaotic journey, accompanied by hitch-hiking eco-activist John, a man intent on saving the world while Hester turns a blind and indifferent eye.
