What begins as a simple Lyft pickup turns into the ride of a lifetime. Eugene Morris—a retired Black history professor still reeling from the loss of his wife—takes a weekend gig as a rideshare driver to outrun the quiet at home. But when he picks up Max, an unpredictable older man in a purple windbreaker with a smart mouth and a suspicious briefcase, the silence is shattered. Max isn't your average passenger. He's a walking question mark with a dangerous past and one last mission. As the two men navigate crooked politicians, decades-old secrets, stolen love letters, and back-alley cons, Eugene is pulled into a whirlwind of chaos, humor, and hard truths. What unfolds is a gritty and heartfelt weekend packed with sharp turns, emotional detours, and unexpected redemption. My Crazy Weekend is a soulful, street-smart novel about unlikely friendship, buried regrets, and what it means to start living again—even when you think it's too late.
