Around the bend

de Shirley Jump

Around the bend: Hilary, a young woman running away from a marriage proposal joins her disapproving mother, Rosemary, on a drive across the country in a cherry-red Mustang with a potbellied pig named Reginald and a life-size cutout of Rosemary's late husband. As the miles roll by, Hilary and Rosemary will discover what's around the bend...if they don't drive each other crazy, or drive off a cliff first. The other wife: The last person Penny Reynolds expected to see at her husband's funeral was his wife! But having learned her husband apparently bought his engagement rings in bulk, Penny Reynolds is shocked out of her well-ordered world. She can't bring herself to hate his "wife," Susan, or toss his amazing piano-playing dog (another surprise) out on his rump. Still, she can get answers as to why her hubby led his secret life. All it takes is a little persuading before she and Susan embark on the trip of a lifetime with Harvey the Wonder Dog in tow.
