    About this ebook

    On the road of life, sometimes you have to shift gears and slow down for those rough patches, but in the end, if you drive carefully, you'll end up home at last .

    After twenty years of marriage, Charlene's husband, Joey, has left her and their three children. Now, with an Oklahoma ranch house, a Chevy Suburban that's seen better days, and an uncertain road ahead, Charlene finds herself taking a journey she never wanted or planned. But she can't turn around and to back. All she can do is move forward.

    Sometimes, though, the most unexpected way is the best. Because if you're brave and grip the wheel tightly, you can find yourself in an extraordinary new place: like in the arms of a man who understands lost dreams and, with a little luck, on the brink of discovering new directions.

      This is the second book in this series, and it was just as good as the first. I really like Ms. Matlock's characters, she has a knack for making you feel like your right there with them in all their heartwarming and hilarious moments. If you like romance, alittle heartache, humor and a variety of characters that definately will remind you of some of the loving, but odd family members you might have, then read this book. And while your at it, read more by this author, cause she's not done yet!
