` My mother called anyone or anything that seemed alone, or ended up in the wrong place, a stray. There were stray people, stray dogs, stray bullets, & stray butterflies.` Fourteen-year-old Pearl France lives in the front seat of a broken down car & her mother Margot lives in the back. Together they survive on a diet of powdered milk & bug spray, love songs & stolen cigarettes. Life on the edge of a Florida trailer park is strange enough, but when Pastor Rex`s ` Guns for God` programme brings Eli Redmond to town Pearl`s world is upended. Eli pays regular visits to Margot in the back seat, forcing Pearl to find a world beyond the car. Margot is given a gift by Eli, a gun of her own, just like he`s given her flowers. It sits under the driver`s seat, a dark presence... Gun Love is a hypnotic story of family, community & violence. Told from the perspective of a sharp-eyed teenager, it exposes America`s love affair with firearms & its painful consequences. ...

- MAP TITLES: the grids shown on our website serve both the civilian & the military 1:50, 000 topographic series. Although the areas covered by maps in both series are identical (apart from some border or coastal sheets), occasionally map titles differ – only one title is shown on the grid, usually the military one. In Galicia, the Basque country & in the Catalan speaking areas the tendency now is to use local place names rather than the often better known Castilian ones. Where possible, both versions are included in our titles. Map titles listed on our website are based on information received by us at the time of publication, but sometimes maps arrive showing a completely different title! As long as the map number is as ordered, the correct map has been supplied.
