Book Description

Kathleen is eighty years old. After she has a run-in with an intruder, her daughter wants her to move into a residential home. But she’s not having any of it. What she craves--what she needs--is adventure.

Liza is drowning in the daily stress of family life. The last thing she needs is her mother jetting off on a wild holiday, making Liza long for a solo summer of her own.

Martha is having a quarter-life crisis. Unemployed, unloved, and uninspired, she just can’t get her life together. But she knows something has to change.

When Martha sees Kathleen’s advertisement for a driver and companion to share an epic road trip across America with, she decides this job might be the answer to her prayers. She’s not the world’s best driver, but anything has to be better than living with her parents. And traveling with a stranger? No problem. Anyway, how much trouble can one eighty-year-old woman be?

As these women embark on the journey of a lifetime, they all discover it’s never too late to start over.

My Thoughts

I found myself swept up into this book. It was fun, witty, emotional, and tender all at once. I found myself ride the waves of every emotion.

When two women who are practical strangers go on a cross-country road trip anything can happen. 

Sarah Morgan had a way of taking 3 very different women in different stages of life and weaved a brilliant story. A story of finding balance, living life, and facing your fears, and overcoming. I was so captivated by this story I could hardly put it down. I could feel myself on this road trip learning about life and finding my path.

I will also say I fell in love with Kathleen. I can only hope that when I'm eighty I will have the bravery to go on a cross-country trip. She s someone I could see myself being friends with. 

This was a truly beautiful and well-written story.
