Product Description

Product Description

En route to college in the summer of 1975, sensible seventeen-year old Amy gets stuck in small-town Colorado when the 1958 Pontiac Bonneville Sports Coupe driven by her insufferable tiara-toting mom, Francie former Queen of the Sleepy Eye, Minnesota, Corn Festival surrenders to a mortally wounded transmission.

It doesn't take long to realize that thirty-three-year-old Francie is out of money and in no hurry to let go of her daughter, so the two unpack indefinitely. Amy finds work at a funeral home, a place where her unlikely Christian faith can work itself out among the town's young and old, geeks and jocks, hippies and clergy alike.

Trying not to judge her mom's serial boyfriend escapades, Amy ends up in a tragic love triangle herself which gives both mother and daughter the chance to do some real growing up. But in a surprise twist, their road to healing still has many miles to go in 2008 as they travel back to Sleepy Eye in that old ‘58 coupe.



About the Author

PATTI HILL, after years of raising children and then joyfully teaching elementary school, finally took her long-ago college English professor's advice ("You should be a writer") and fulfilled the dream of having her first novel published to wide acclaim in 2005. She writes almost every day now and lives with her husband in Grand Junction, Colorado.
