Publisher's summary

A summer road trip turns into a journey of a life time, full of last chances and fresh starts, in this heartwarming short story from New York Times best-selling author Carolyn Brown.

Nita, Sharlene, and Billy Joe, all about to turn 80, are tired of waiting their turn for a funeral dinner. They each have a bucket list and are determined to tick off at least a few of the items before they go. So what’s left but to hit the road? They enlist two drivers—Billy Joe’s great-grandson, Ford, who has just gotten out of the Air Force, and Sharlene’s great niece, Joelle, a schoolteacher who has the summer free.

Spending the summer with three bickering old people in a tricked-out VW bus isn’t what Joelle or Ford had planned, but they aren’t about to let the trio go that far without help. Both at a crossroads in their lives, neither expect to discover an attraction simmering between them. But somewhere between horseback riding at a dude ranch and slow dancing at the Grand Ole Opry, they discover that their elderly companions aren’t the only ones who need to take some risks in life...and in love.

Entertaining

I really enjoyed this audiobook. It's not my usual genre. You can tell from the beginning where its going with a couple of characters but it's a nice ride. I really hope they continue this series. A feel good book.

No surprised but we’ll written & easy listen

Always good to have bucket list no matter what the age. Easy listen so good for listening to while driving. Good ‘and they lived happily ever after’ story.

Sweet story

Having recently turned 70 this short story was right up my alley. Who doesn’t love a good old VW van especially with some Flower Power.😁
The young couple added some spice.
