| Publisher Description: "Some women play bingo and go quietly into the night. My mother steals cars and breaks out of Alzheimer's units."From USA TODAY bestselling Author Lynne Gentry comes a heartwarming peek inside a mother/daughter relationship turned upside down.Not all southern women are sweet tea and sympathy. My aging mother is the poster girl for this truth. Momma can't remember which road to take to get from her ranch to the small town where she grew up, but she can recount every detail of the day I broke her heart. Her inability to forgive me has hardened our relationship like the tiny fossils trapped in the limestone bluffs along the Frio River. I've wasted twenty-five years trying to chip away at this hurt. Then Momma fell and broke her hip. I flew home to try to mend fences with her one more time. Her refusal to even consider convalescing in my Washington DC home left me no choice but to leave her in an assisted living center in Texas. I regret telling her that I thought the ranch had become more than she could handle because the moment she was strong enough to manipulate her walker, she stole a car and broke out of that swanky place. Just to prove me wrong. Again.Now that Momma is missing, I'm sandwiched between the choice of staying with my troubled teenage daughter or leaving to find my demented mother. Either way, I feel like I'm already too late.The story of the Slocum women is the story many of us are facing. Navigating the care of an aging parent while parenting our own children is never easy. Some days you just have to laugh to keep from crying. This series serves up a generous helping of laughs and hope. It's a touching addition to your collection of southern small-town, generational authors like Ann B. Ross, Jan Karon, and Beth Hoffman."Gentry's small-town series is a masterful peek into what it takes to resuscitate a mother-daughter relationship."
