In the middle of the year, in the middle of her life, Bethanne Hamlin takes a road trip with her daughter Annie, and her former mother-in-law, Ruth. They’re driving to Florida for Ruth’s 50th high school reunion. A long-time widow, Ruth would like to reconnect with Royce, the love of her teenage life. She’s heard he’s alone, too…and, well, she’s curious. Maybe even hopeful. Bethanne herself needs time to reflect, to ponder a decision she has to make. Her ex-husband, Grant – her children’s father – wants to reconcile now that his second marriage has failed. Bethanne’s considering it….

Meanwhile, Annie’s out to prove to her one-time boyfriend that she can live a brilliant life without him! So there they are, three women driving across America. They have their maps and their directions – but even the best-planned journey can take you to a turn in the road.

I loved this story from start to finish and the narrator and voices were perfect. While I could have told Annie and Granma Ruth to leave Beth Anne alone to make her own decision, overall I am so happy with the ending and their whole journey on the road. One of the best in the Blossom St series and other Debbie Macomber books

Love this story!

Very well done. This is one of Debbie Macomber's best books ever. I can't imagine a more excellent narration than Joyce Bean's consistent and nuanced rendering of the numerous characters in the story. Thoroughly enjoyable!
