Publisher Description

“What would happen if I just kept driving?”

Moms aren’t supposed to have a life of their own, at least that’s what Becca Thompson believes. Between dealing with her youngest’s never ending tantrums, her teenager’s attitude and her ailing father’s rapidly failing memory, Becca doesn’t have time to worry about who she used to be.

Deep down, Becca knows she wants more than the daily chaos and the quick fixes her self-help books have to offer, but when her husband starts demanding more, the pressure proves to be too much. On the way to pick up her daughter, she makes the split second decision to take a different exit off the freeway and drives towards the mountains leaving her crumbling life in the rear-view mirror.


Fleeing to a remote mountain town, Becca knows she must rediscover her spirit, even if reconnecting with herself comes at the expense of everything she left behind.

WhatIReallyThink ,

Coming of [Mature] Age — Not Your Average Fare

This beautifully told story draws you in from the start. The main character, Becca, shares the traits of many mothers who gradually, or suddenly, wake up to realize one day that who they are as an individual has been lost in the repetitive day-to-day demands and routines of being a wife and mother.

Aitken captures the nuances of how life’s usual and curve balls affect each person involved in their own way, despite the apparent experience being the same. The characters are richly drawn and thus deeply felt as you read. For anyone who has ever had any kind of “who am I?“ moment (and who hasn’t?), there is something to relate to here. But particularly if you have chafed at the boundaries of who you are and what you need, and what your children and partner need, this story will resonate with your own heart’s inquiry and deep knowing.

I wholeheartedly recommend this book. You won’t regret reading it.

Total waste and scam!!!! ,

Absolute tripe

One of the dumbest books I have read. There may not be a redeemable character in the bunch. This isn’t romantic or real life or fantasy. It’s just poorly written, poorly planned and god awful.
