My sister recommended this book; she's such a fan that she attended a book reading by Christopher Moore a few years ago.

I wish I went with her! Humor, weirdness, action and the crossing paths of three religions and their icons are included in this story of Samuel Hunter, a.k.a. Samson Hunts Alone, a Crow Indian. The Trickster (Coyote) is my favorite: a gambling, perverted ancient god who only really wants stories to be told about himself.

Sam gets caught up in a crime while a teenager and leaves the reservation, along with all his beliefs and becomes a salesman - but he isn't able to permanently bury his past. He falls in love with a beautiful, weird, transient single mother and goes through everything possibly imaginable to keep her and her son, Grubb. There are many more entertaining names popping up in the book as well; Minty Fresh comes to mind.
