Lily knew her husband of three years was rich, powerful, and cunning, but he still surprises her when-after their divorce-he drains her bank accounts, turns her few friends against her, and secures custody of their baby, Anne. Lily tries everything... But nothing works. Faced with sudden homelessness and the knowledge she can neither outfox her ex or discover where he has hidden baby Anne, Lily turns to the irrational-a vintage "executive decision maker" she found at a local thrift store. The little spinning wheel was intended to poke fun at the sometimes random choices business leaders make-but Lily spins the wheel and is led straight to Anne. She takes the child and runs. She spins again and again-staying off the grid and avoiding capture. For two years she runs, traveling nearly two thousand miles as the wheel takes her from Salt Lake City to Canada and beyond... Spin! In addition to narrative, the novel uses an arc of creative non-fiction pieces-digressions into probability theory, space-time, philosophy, literary criticism, the lore and science of love. The novel also includes images that accompany the text. Amy Bennion, who teaches art at University of North Florida, drew these as if they came from Lily's sketchbook.
