A heartfelt women's fiction road novel about two lifelong friends who leave their wrecked lives behind in a vintage Mustang and drive west. Warm, funny and bittersweet, with midlife reinvention, grief, an old flame revisited and a secret that could end a friendship.
Two Best Friends. A Stolen Mustang. One Last Detour.
Tobey Springer is reeling from a brutal divorce. Jillian Bowman is barely surviving the shock of her husband’s sudden death. When Tobey shows up with a wild plan and a vintage Mustang, the two women set off on a cross-country journey filled with unexpected detours, old memories, and unfinished business.
Tobey wants to reconnect with a man from her past. She has a plan for Jillian to do the same. But Jillian is hiding something she's never told anyone, something that could destroy the friendship she values most.
From wild storms to Vegas dance floors and long highways stretching west, their madcap adventure becomes something deeper than either woman expected.
Adjusting the Rear View is a standalone women’s fiction novel, for readers who love road-trip friendships, midlife reinvention, second-chance romance and humor with heart. Perfect for fans of Kristin Hannah, Elin Hilderbrand and Jodi Picoult.
