The Summer Seekers

I am a person who likes road trips and that is why I read The Summer Seekers by Sarah Morgan. Kathleen wants to go on a road trip. She lives alone in Cornwall, England and she craves another adventure. Specifically she wants to travel Route 66 from Chicago to California. Her daughter, Liza, doesn't think this is a good idea because Kathleen is 80. Kathleen tends to live in the moment while Liza is overwhelmed with work, marriage, and her rebellious teenaged daughters. Kathleen advertises for a driver/companion and ends up hiring Martha who is 25 and needs a break from her less than successful life. The moral of the story is it is never to late to change your ways when your ways don't suit your life anymore.
