Overview
A starry-eyed romantic, a cynical writer, and (the ashes of) an elderly woman take the road trip of aĀ lifetime that just might upend everything they believe about true love.
Millicent Watts-Cohen is on a mission. When she promised her elderly best friend that sheād reunite her with the woman she fell in love with nearly eighty years ago, she never imagined that would mean traveling from D.C. to Key West with three tablespoons of Mrs. Nashās remains in her backpack. But Millieās determined to give her friend a symbolic happily-ever-after, before itās (really) too lateāand hopefully reassure herself of loveās lasting power in the process.
She just didnāt expect to have a living travel companion.
After a computer glitch grounds flights, Millie is forced to catch a ride with Hollis Hollenbeck, an also-stranded acquaintance from her exās MFA program. Hollis certainly does not believe in happily-ever-aftersāsymbolic or otherwiseāand makes it quite clear that he canāt fathom Millieās plan ending well for anyone.
But as they contend with peculiar bed-and-breakfasts, unusual small-town festivals, and deer with a death wish, Millie begins to suspect that her reluctant travel partner might enjoy her company more than he lets on. Because for someone who supposedly doesnāt share her views on romance, Hollis sure is becoming invested in the success of their journey. And the closer they get to their destination, the more Millie has to admit that maybe this trip isnāt just about Mrs. Nashās love story after allāmaybe itās also about her own.
