 Here is an blurb about the book:

  It's about a woman trapped in a town full of only lost things and lost people.

"One morning, Lauren gets into her car to drive to work, but instead of going left at the light, she drives straight... and drives and drives until she runs out of gas in a town called Lost.  Once there, she can't leave.  The only road out of town is engulfed by an impassable dust storm, and the only people who don't want to kill her are a mysterious wild man called the Finder and a knife-wielding six-year-old girl."- Sarah Beth Durst
