“A witty and heartfelt story of loss, love, and navigating the twists and turns life throws at you.”

Dee thought she had it all – a successful marriage, a happy college-bound daughter, and a perfectly curated life and home. She’d overcome her own unpredictable childhood and kept everything in her life calm and controlled. She’d taken excellent care of her home, her family, even her in-laws. Martha Stewart Living had been her bible. Then her physician husband of 25 years leaves her for a colleague and Dee’s world comes crashing down. 

In a move her family and friends see as reckless, even dangerous, she joins a training class for a nearby trucking company and takes to a life on the road. At five-foot-one, clad in stylish clothes and designer cowboy boots, she doesn’t look like anyone’s idea of a truck driver, and not everyone is happy to have her there. But Dee perseveres. While her only intention is running away from a shattered past, her journey as a long-haul trucker leads her to a new understanding of the world and her place in it.

Just as Dee begins to find her footing – excelling at a difficult job after years as a stay-at-home mom, making new friends outside her usual circle, and maybe finding love again – a roadside incident threatens to derail everything. Can she overcome this new trauma and once again rediscover the joy of living?
