About Joanna Scott:
Joanna Scott is the author of nine books, including The Manikin, which was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize; Various Antidotes and Arrogance, which were both finalists for the PEN/Faulkner Award; and the critically acclaimed Make Believe, Tourmaline, and Liberation. A recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and a Lannan Award, she lives with her family in upstate New York.

Book Description:
On a summer day in 1946 Sally Werner, the precocious young daughter of hardscrabble Pennsylvania farmers, secretly accepts her cousin’s invitation to ride his new motorcycle. Like so much of what follows in Sally’s life, it’s an impulsive decision with dramatic and far-reaching consequences. Soon she abandons her home to begin a daring journey of self-creation, the truth of which she entrusts only with her granddaughter and namesake, six decades later. But when young Sally’s father–a man she has never known–enters her life and offers another story altogether, she must uncover the truth of her grandmother’s secret history.

Boldly rendered and beautifully told, in FOLLOW ME Joanna Scott has crafted a paean to the American tradition of re-invention and a sweeping saga of timeless and tender storytelling.

    When I feel like running away, I hide out at home for the whole weekend. Don’t answer my phone, don’t answer emails and do not sign into messenger. I will spend a day or two all alone and talk to no one.

    When I feel like running away, I hunker down at home & allow no interruptions to my day – no phone calls, no computer. Then I grab a really good book I’ve been wanting to read & read it!

    When I feel like running away, I just shelter myself in a room and do something like read so I can be distracted.

    When I feel like running away, I usually just curl up in a corner and cry.
