I loved everything about this edition - as usual, your narratives are informative, and authentic. My kids loved our family road trips and this sentimental mother-daughter adventure inspires possible future trips I may take with my own daughter. A nice escape and thanks for the book recommendations.

I really enjoyed your road trip story Helen.-and laughed out loud at you sleeping through an earthquake. Inspiring to hear about women writing and getting published later in life.

WOW, Helen, I wish I had met your mother when she was writing and driving to lit fests! She sounds like an extraordinary woman. Now we know where your talents come from.

Funny, poignant, empowering. Loved the recounting of road trip with your mother -- 65 when she first published. I live in hope!

Road trips with my mum created some of my fondest memories of her - thanks so much for bringing those back to me today with this.

Another great read! I thoroughly enjoyed reading about this road trip with Mom albeit with tears streaming down my face. While I knew you went on the road trip I found the details illuminating. It’s wasn’t just my music in the car she didn’t like (lol), the whole “cheap and cheerful” totally describes my own road trip to Florida with Mom. Funny how a small comment can bring so many memories to come flooding back. As they say Thanks for the memories. ❤️😘🥰
