**NEW Edition contains updated content including a Reader's Discussion Guide**"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.

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.
