successful artist. Instead, here he is at twenty-six years old: unemployed with a felony drug conviction, locked in a walk-in freezer with third-degree burns and an irate girlfriend. His girlfriend, ex-junkie Beth, won't talk to him. So Pinky has nothing better to do than walk down memory lane while he waits to find out if he's going to be killed by the men who tortured and kidnapped him.How did it get to be like this? Pinky recounts his story- how he met the love of his life, how he lost her, and how he got her back. He tells us other things, too- like why he and his brother decided to rob his boss, James, who is one of the biggest suppliers of methamphetamines in Alabama. The guys who locked them in the freezer are James' guys.They can't wait to get permission to kill Pinky and his girl. When the freezer door opens, Pinky and Beth are in for the fight of their lives, and nothing will ever be the same afterwards. Anywhere But Here is a story about a man who never had everything and finds the will to rise up from despair, only to find himself involved in infidelity, murder plots, robbery attempts, and an epic white trash feud between good and evil. Not quite a crime novel, not quite a general fiction novel, if fits somewhere between the two, defying genres because genres suck.
