Around the Bend: An Anthology

By Shirley Jump

Thelma and Louise they're not. First of all, Hilary and Rosemary Delaney are not friends--worse, they're mother and daughter. Hilary's a wayward thirty-something running from a marriage proposal, and Rosemary's her disapproving mother, a retired lawyer who can't drive and won't fly. So they're driving together across country. In a cherry-red Mustang. With a potbellied pig named Reginald, and a life-size cutout of Rosemary's late husband. Should be a fun trip. As the miles tick by, Hilary ponders why the word "marriage" has her so terrified and finds she's got a lot to learn--about her mother, love and life in general. Together, Hilary and Rosemary will discover what's around the bend...if they don't drive each other crazy, or drive off a cliff first.

Customer Reviews

A wonderful mother-daughter story!!

Shirley Jump's Around the Bend is a wonderful mother-daughter story of self-discovery and the meaning of love. The humor is great fun with wacky characters and a pot-bellied pig. But, it was the romance that kept me up late turning pages to see if Hilary and Nick would overcome the obstacles standing between them and their happy ending. Jump balances heartache with heartwarming in a story of hope and healing. Don't miss Around the Bend!
