Christie Walker Bos: Patsy Hits the Road, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Seventy-five-year-old Patsy tries to outrun grief and find new joy when she hits the road with her best friend, Rosa, in a cherry red Mustang convertible. Following Route 66 through the California desert, across Arizona, north to Santa Fe, and beyond, the women rescue a tortoise, consult a palm reader, dig up sacred dirt, and sled down a dune. On the adventure, they sprinkle her husband Carl's ashes around the Southwest, as Patsy comes to terms with life without her husband. Patsy finds a dog, loses the dog, and ultimately finds herself. For those familiar with the rugged beauty of the American Southwest and the quirky nature of Route 66, the story will evoke fond memories. For those who haven't had the pleasure of a "Yellow Line Bovine" hamburger from the Roadkill Café or the thrill of filling your shoes and pockets with sand as you slide down a giant sand dune, this story will inspire a road trip of your own.
