Eve is a frustrated sixteen-year-old who uncovers a dark family secret. Muriel is trapped in managed care by the son who stole her fortune. Taking advantage of a fortuitous moment, this unlikely pair embark on a murky mission to rectify their wrongs. Together they confront Muriel's wavering cognition, Eve's emotional wounds, and sometimes each other. They're on the road to salvation--unless their families catch them first!
Oh, and did we forget to mention: THE NARRATOR IS THE CAR!
Michael Jai Grant's new novel explores people's inclination to do the wrong things for the right reasons. He writes a provocative and spirited journey that challenges our notions of dementia and elder care, sexuality, the difference between religion and spirituality, and the complex world of Teenagedom. At its core, it delves into themes of friendship, family, liberation, and the circuitous routes we all take to finding our way home.
"Grant is a skilled and inventive writer...He manages to capture a thirst for independence rarely portrayed past the age of 18...A shaggy, comic road novel about freedom and family." —Kirkus Reviews
