The BRAND NEW brilliantly funny, relatable read from Kate Galley
You’re never too old for a second chance… or for settling an old score.
Martha’s life has grown smaller in her seventies – quiet days, a tidy flat, and the occasional call from her granddaughter, Erin. But she wasn't always so careful. Fifty years ago, she raced across Spain in a reality travel competition, chasing adventure – and almost winning. Until charming fellow competitor Harrison got in her way.
When an invitation arrives for a reunion race, Martha’s first instinct is no. She’s too old for all that now. Isn’t she? But then she thinks of Erin, who is struggling since her mother’s death – this trip might be exactly what they both need.
So that's how Martha and Erin find themselves heading for the Canadian wilderness. And this time, Martha is determined to beat Harrison once and for all.
