Waiting for Joe / Sandra Birdsell.
On a motorhome trip to Fort McMurray in the hopes of finding work, Joe and his wife, Laurie, stop at a Walmart in Regina. Thinking that their situation is temporary, Laurie maxes out their last credit card on a wardrobe and hair dye. For Joe, it's the last straw in a marriage that now seems unworkable. Pushed to figure out what to do next, Joe simply takes off hitchhiking, leaving Laurie waiting for Joe, and Joe wondering how he will ever find meaning in a world of disappointments. A piercing new novel of our times by one of Canada's finest fiction writers, author of CHILDREN OF THE DAY.
