Coast to Coast with a Cat and a Ghost

By Judy Howard

When Judy Howard loses her husband, Jack of twenty-five years, grief becomes an unwanted shadow she can't outrun. So, she does the only brave thing that makes sense; she fires up her Winnebago and heads across the country on historic Rt 66 with her cat, Sportster, and a life-sized Harley Biker doll she calls Jack Incarnate, along for company while she faces her past.

From California's Pacific coast to Florida's Atlantic shores, Judy revisits the tangled love, the hard truths, and the unbreakable bond that shaped her marriage. Mile by mile, she begins piecing together the woman who exists beyond the roles she once filled.

But when Jack Incarnate becomes a haunting -both literally and emotionally-by the man she loved fiercely and sometimes fearfully, Judy's journey, which began as an escape, becomes a reckoning, a healing, and ultimately a homecoming to herself.

Funny, touching, and wonderfully odd in all the right ways, Coast to Coast with a Cat and a Ghost is a road-trip memoir that proves you can grieve, laugh, love, run away, and find yourself-all at the same time.

Raw, real, and surprisingly funny, Coast to Coast with a Cat and a Ghost is a story of courage, reinvention, and the magic that happens when a woman decides to claim her next chapter.
