It started out as just another road trip, a chance for Patrick and Judy to get away from it all before the new job came through--if it ever did. Plus, it might help repair their marriage. A leisurely drive down the interstate to Key West, paradise on earth, would do them both good.

But after a tornado forces them off the main road, Patrick and Judy find themselves in an America they thought they knew but don't. It's a strange country where the purpose of money is a mystery, cell phones, the internet, even cars are oddities, and corporations and churches have vanished; a quirky utopia where poor country people give Vivaldi concerts and dine lavishly while the wealthy cower behind forbidding gates; a bubbly culture where gay marriages are celebrated wildly and beefy security guards cross-dress.

It's an America where the traditional values of freedom and liberty, once lost, are now re-found for a new age.

Doradilla. Don't punch it up on your GPS. It's not there. It's an America you never knew existed but always thought was out there somewhere, a promise that could have been--and still could be.

As they say, "Once you've had a taste of Doradilla, you won't want anything else."
