This is a light and happy story told in letters by 12 year old Samantha. She and her mother go to Florida to check on her recently widowed Grandma who moved away to Florida. When Grandma picks them up from the airport in her new convertible Mustang, it is clear that Grandma is enjoying her new life. Samantha's mom, a type-A, control freak, wants to make Grandma move 8.5 minutes away from them in an Illinois condo. Grandma has friends and a senior citizen bucket list which includes a road trip to enter karaoke competitions. Sam's mom has to go home for a work crisis and leaves Sam behind to go on the road trip and keep an eye on Grandma.
The road trip includes Grandma's friend, Mimi, and her handsome, cool grandson. The road trip does NOT go smoothly, but the trials and tribulations bring them all closer and memories to last a lifetime. If you are looking for a delightful, uplifting read this is a great one!
