Have you ever wanted to start over and begin a new life? I do. Even though I’m middle-aged, divorced, friendless, have been disowned by my children, and am a closeted lesbian. Starting over should be easy, right? Wrong!
Mary packed what little she owned after her divorce—from her cheating husband—into her car, ready to start a new life… It takes less than a day to get carjacked—Mary's too trusting for her own good—and loses everything.
When Mary is offered a ride by Anna—a beautiful woman driving a semi-truck—she takes it. But not just because she has no options, but because there is something irresistible about Anna's personality.
When Anna asks Mary if she wants to keep riding with her, Mary jumps at the offer and joins her. Because when she’s with Anna; Mary feels brave, bold, passionate, and for the first time in her life, she feels like herself.
It is only after agreeing to see the United States from the seat of the big rig, does Mary realize that she may have a crush on Anna—a big one! Which forces Mary to confront feelings she has hidden her entire life.
At forty-three, Mary finds herself falling in love for the first time, and to a beautiful woman. Will she ignore the feelings she has for her new friend? Or will she dare to act on her feelings to see if love is possible? The one thing Mary does know is… semi-truck sleepers have little privacy for two people.
