Lee Smith's latest novel is a delightful treat, akin to a slice of key lime pie, but it disappears just as quickly. Readers have expressed their admiration for its distinctiveness and exceptional quality, with one describing it as "very different and it's very special and it's very good! I loved it."
The story revolves around Herb, a charming man living in Key West with his wife, Susan, in her 70s. Despite Susan's deteriorating health and Herb's denial of his own ailments, their lives take an unexpected turn when an optimistic manicurist named Renee enters their lives. Renee brings joy and contentment to Susan through singing, painting, and fostering a sense of happiness. However, when Herb and Susan's adult children stage an intervention, Renee's job with Susan and her grand plans for her own life begin to unravel.
As the friendship between Herb and Renee deepens, they embark on a last-minute road trip together in Herb's Porsche, triggering a Silver Alert. During their journey, they discover more about each other's lives and the hidden complexities that lie beneath their outward appearances. Through this unlikely bond, they learn that life is full of surprises and that sometimes, it takes courage to seize the wheel and make it our own.
In this buoyant novel, Lee Smith explores profound questions about what life we deserve and how we can make it our own. The story is filled with hope, humor, and unexpected twists, leaving readers with a renewed sense of optimism and a desire to embrace the unexpected.
