The Limited Edition Bicentennial Cadillac Convertible Joy Ride

By Michael Jai Grant

Abduction or escape? Muriel has vanished from the senior home, and young Eve is behind the wheel, driving north in search of answers. With newfound courage, this Boomer and Zoomer forge an unlikely bond, discovering truths about themselves and each other-while their families are in hot pursuit. Now it's up to me, the getaway car and constant witness, to tell you everything

Set aside what you think you know about generation gaps as Muriel and Eve put it all to the test. This "shaggy and comic road novel" (Kirkus Reviews) challenges our notions of dementia and elder care, sexuality, the difference between religion and spirituality, and the complex world of Teenagedom set against the tedium of late-Adulthood. Friendship, family and liberation quite literally drive the action. Oh, and the narrator is the car

"It falls on me to tell Eve's story, which is equally Muriel's story, and my own. I cannot fully explain how I am able to tap into others' minds to share the parts where I wasn't physically present. I have theories, and we'll get to that, but at the risk of taxing your patience in the opening moments of this drama, suffice it to say that Yes, I am a car, and No, I do not talk or fly or have absurd magical powers. I cannot drive myself or even pop my trunk without a human turning the key, and before we go any further with your sensible questions about my unusual omniscience, it's far more important that you learn more about Eve before she finishes tying her shoe."
