About this ebook

 “What would happen if I just kept driving?”

 

Moms aren’t supposed to have a life of their own, at least that’s what Becca Thompson believes. Between dealing with her youngest’s never ending tantrums, her teenager’s attitude, her ailing father’s rapidly failing memory and increasing pressure from her husband, Becca doesn’t have time to worry about who she used to be—let alone remember.

 

She loves her family, but deep down Becca knows she wants more than the daily chaos and the quick fixes her self-help books have to offer. It's just another day when finally the pressure proves to be too much and Becca makes a split second decision that will change everything.

 

Leaving her crumbling life in the rear-view mirror and fleeing to a remote mountain town may feel like the perfect way to reconnect with herself, but will her choices come at the expense of everything she left behind? Or can Becca find herself before it's too late?

Ratings and reviews

One of the worst books I've ever read. The main character is a weak, neurotic, self-absorbed idiot too stupid to get out of her own way. I hope no one reading this thinks that it's okay to run away from your kids and life.

While I didnt always agree with the main character's choices, I related a lot to her feelings and it was interesting to see how it played out. Enjoyed the setting and other characters.

A familiar feeling as someone always spending time with family, in same ways its suffering feeling and other days this simply overwhelming sense. This story has genuine waves of reality showing many layers to life just alright to me.
