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

Liza is drowning under the daily stress of family life. The last thing she needs is her mother jetting off on a wild holiday, making Liza dream of a solo break 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 advert for a driver and companion to take an epic road trip across America, she decides this job might be the answer to her prayers. Travelling with a stranger? No problem. She's not the world's best driver, but it couldn’t be worse than living with her parents again. And 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 for adventure…

Heartwarming Story

I loved this book. I sympathised with characters despised others and needed to listen to every word. I loved the adventures and learned a lot. I shall search out other books by Sarah Morgan. A fabulous story teller

Fascinating tale

I've never read Sarah Morgan before and am not fond of chic lit but I liked this a lot. No great excitement but I loved getting to know the characters as events unfolded. The story concentrated on relationships and I was pleased that the romance was light touch and not the main focus. The beautiful tones of Georgina Sutton gave a suitable voice to each character and I particularly enjoyed listening to the irresistibly smooth voice used for Kathleen, the firm and feisty 80 year old. (In my head I pictured an older Honor Blackman.)The descriptions of the house in Cornwall made me envious, but at least in my mind I spent a few days there and enjoyed it. More could have been made of the route 66 road trip, sometimes there was just a passing reference to locations as thousands of miles passed, but I'm giving this story 5 stars because it brought me sunshine, made me smile and Georgina's narration kept me spellbound.

Sunny summer listen, beautifully narrated

A story about family and friendship and travel. Characters are relatable and likeable. I wanted to read a sequel as the story of the next step would be enjoyable esp if involves a renovation
