Lyn wakes up on her fiftieth birthday with no man, no close friends still in the area, and middle age staring her right in the face.
Lyn is determined to change her sad trajectory and books a surprise trip for herself and her three children through the American Southwest and Yellowstone. Before they even get on the plane, the trip hits a major snag. The children have invited Lyn's estranged partner to join them. Now, the two adults and three children have to keep up appearances and pretend to be a happy-if somewhat demented-family on their trip. Along the way, amid the mountain vistas, secrets will be revealed and a hurtful betrayal confronted in this sweet, funny family saga.
In addition to laugh-out-loud adventures with the rambunctious family, author Joanna Warrington writes of the extreme culture shock that comes from visiting America from England. Things like gas pumps immediately throw our heroes for a loop, but they valiantly rise to the occasion. Warrington, who has previous experience in travel writing, makes the Southwest spring to life! This book will appeal to fans of travel writer Bill Bryson as well as fans of British TV sit-com 'Outnumbered.'
