ABOUT MAPS FOR THE GETAWAY
When they posed for a photo at their high school graduation, they vowed they’d be friends forever, but teenage promises are so easily broken, and now, 30 years later, they’re practically strangers.
- In MAPS FOR THE GETAWAY, there’s Cici—stuck in a rut, married to a cheating husband.
- Genie—caring for her ailing father but never getting any thanks.
- Kate—everyone knows people who look perfect on Instagram are not…
- And Laurie—the most successful of them all—now tragically gone.
To celebrate Laurie’s life, the three former friends rent a 1962 red Lincoln Continental convertible and take the road trip of their lives—encountering male strippers, crazy motel rooms, a boy band that had seen better days, adopting a loveable stray dog…and discovering that it’s never too late to live the wild life—because, sometimes, to find yourself you have to get away.
