Bestselling author Ann Garvin's novel explores the complexities of broken bonds, messy histories, and the healing power of forgiveness. Widowed Samantha Arias and her former best friend Holly Dunfee haven't spoken in years, as Samantha prefers to avoid conflict, while Holly craves it. However, their shared love for their best friend Katie, who is hospitalized with cancer and needs an errand from her college roommates, brings them back together.

The task at hand is simple: travel cross-country together, steal her ex-husband's VW camper, find Katie's diabetic Great Pyrenees at a Utah rescue, and drive him back home to Wisconsin. Despite the challenges and obstacles they encounter along the way, including a boho D-list celebrity joining the road trip, Samantha and Holly are determined to make Katie happy.

As they navigate every new turn, toward second chances, unexpected romance, and self-discovery, they also confront the secret that broke their friendship. On the open road, they strive to put their friendship back together, not only for themselves but also for the love of Katie.

Garvin's novel is a poignant and funny exploration of the human condition, offering a relatable and heartfelt story that will leave readers reflecting on the importance of forgiveness and the strength of friendship.
