Abstract
Chasing Sirens is a coming-of-age story of Charlie Miller, a young man from Chittenango, New York, whose girlfriend, Julia, left him inexplicably three years prior. Upon learning of her whereabouts he mounts a cross-country road trip to see if he can get her back. Along the way he meets several other characters, including Patrick, an old widower also driving to California, Tom, his old friend from Chittenango, and Victoria, a sweet smiling hitchhiker who helps him realize his journey.
