Tilly’s marriage isn’t happy and she
doesn’t know why its going wrong. When she asked to drive eight native elders
from Canada to the Gather of Nations Pow Wow in New Mexico, she makes the snap
decision to go. Each member of the group has a bucket list item for the trip
from the redwood forest, a tulip festival, and more. During the journey members
of the group find themselves confronting the past, re-examining current
relationships, and building friendships. Tilly has to come to some hard
realizations herself if she wants to save her marriage.
This book would be more appealing to
adults than younger readers, as the themes and characters are all very much
adult. Many of the topics are related to being a senior citizen and looking
back on your life, which I even had trouble relating to. For me it was just an
ok read –some of the elderly women characters had a similar feel, so they all
kind of blurred into one or two characters. I thought the references to native
culture were fascinating and added quite a bit to the story.
