Long time friends Leslie and Liz are smart, talented and successful women. In their mid-fifties, the two have what many in their Baby Boomer generation have striven for: successful careers, beautiful homes, country club memberships, and financial security. In fact, they have everything mature women could want, including loving (if sometimes clueless) husbands. But lately, something seems not quite right. The two self-crowned “Queens” often talk and dream of shucking the mantles of their corporate and suburbia worlds, where people and circumstances require them to pretend to be people they aren’t. And they’ve joked for years about running away in a motor home. But they never did. Until on one ordinary day, and after some impulsive, secret preparations, and brief notes to their families, the two pack up their newly acquired motor home, and begin the long awaited adventure they’ve dreamed of for so long. The road life they adopt teems with new experiences, new friends, and many challenges. But that’s not all. For along the way, it is not just their original plans and dreams that are altered. Their very lives and relationships take on new meaning, as well. But with this experience and adventure comes yet more questions to be answered. Should they stay on the road? Will their husbands ever understand? Will they be safe? What else waits beyond that horizon? And most importantly, can they or will they ever go home again?

5A fun debut!  Jun 19, 2008
By Silly Sister
Funny and timely, this book really hit home with me. I guess it happens to all of us sooner or later: your life just keeps hitting a sour note; the career you worked so hard for over so many years turns and bites you on the leg; the relationships that filled your days with beautiful music are now skipping in a jarring two-note repeat like a scratched record - you get the idea.

Who hasn't had the wild idea of putting her life on hold and hitting the wide open road with her best buddy in tow? And who hasn't wondered, "what's the worst that could happen if I did?" Patt Fero's hilarious book answers that question as she takes her readers on the ultimate middle-age escape fantasy with Liz and Leslie, two women who go for it and become faced with another interesting question: can you ever go home again....and even if you can, do you really want to?

5TAKING THE RV DREAM!  Jun 23, 2008
By Dorothy J. Jones "Dot Jones"
Fantasizing of escape but booked through 2018 with family, career and community? Here's a second choice. Plunge into Patt Fero's funny, riotuous and right-on Everywoman's fantasy escape to the what-ifs we all dream about. You'll meet entrancing characters whom we all want to know better including marvelous husbands and children who sustain and appreciate their women throughout the improbable journey. This is a wonderful romp with women friends who truly try their best to elude conventional lives,but persist, even on their break-out, to minister to every person and animal who crosses their path! Can women really escape? Read, laugh and think! Rumor has it that sequels follow!

5Great Book!  Jun 20, 2008
By Nancy Dietze "Nancy Dietze"
This was a great book. Funny, rich characters, great plot, a page turner, couldn't put it down.

5Inspiration and Vicarious Living  Nov 17, 2011
By dare2b
Sometimes you need "to run to the hills", "to leap off a bridge", or "to break loose of your troubles". Be ready to let your mind have its fun with this charmer.

What a fun ride with the motor home queens! It surprises and makes possible a vicarious adventure for minds wanting to dance and to flee the ordinary. Be prepared for a little danger as well as the soul searches and yearns for "something new or yet undone". Grab a favorite time of day and get ready to laugh, to feel inspired and to wish you were there.

Thanks!!!

5A Must Read!  Jul 14, 2011
By P. Schultz
The characters are well developed and the story line is wonderful! You won't want to put this book down once you get started. I have never traveled in an RV but could see myself and my best friend taking off and getting into some of the same trouble Leslie and Liz did! Great Book!
