They’re driving to Florida for Ruth’s 50th high-school reunion. A longtime widow, Ruth would like to reconnect with Royce, the love of her teenage life. She’s heard he’s alone, too…and, well, she’s curious. Maybe even hopeful.

Or lead you to an unexpected encounter—like the day Bethanne meets a man named Max who really is a hero on a Harley. That’s when Bethanne’s decision becomes a lot harder.

"The main character Bethanne is a divorced women who reinvented herself. Her husband of twenty years told her he loved someone else. He later married the women. Bethanne started her own company and was doing well. Both of her kids loved their father. The girl, Annie was totally loyal to the father and hoped that her mom and dad would get back together. The ex grandmother plans a trip for Washington state to Florida for a class reunion. On the spur of the moment Bethanne agrees to go with her to help sort out her feelings for her ex husband. Annie gets hurt by her current boyfriend so she decides to go along too on the trip. They run into car trouble, stop to help out an old friend of the grandmothers and learn about themselves and each other. It was a cute book. I stayed up to finish. Who do you choose the exhusband who betrayed you, but swears he won't do it again or the new man you don't know much about but who stirs your soul? It was a good book to help with the stress of real life."
