Humor and heart move the fast-paced journey of an unlikely pair coming together to form a family of their own in this touching story from New York Times bestselling author Catherine Ryan Hyde.
Bea has barely been scraping by since her husband died. After falling for a telephone scam, she loses everything and is forced to abandon her trailer. With only two-thirds of a tank in her old van, she heads toward the Pacific Ocean with her catâon a mission to reclaim whatâs rightfully hers, even if it means making others pay for what she lost.
When fifteen-year-old Allieâs parents are jailed for tax fraud, sheâs sent to a group home. But when her life is threatened by another resident, she knows she has to get out. She escapes only to find she has nowhere to goâuntil fate throws Allie in Beaâs path.
Reluctant to trust each other, much less become friends, the two warily make their way up the Pacific Coast. Yet as their hearts open to friendship and love from the strangers they meet on their journey, they find the courage to forge their own unique familyâand begin to see an imperfect world with new eyes.
