Fiftysomething Kate is unemployed, available and weary of saying "no" to life for too long.  Her elderly parents take her on a vacation to the Newfoundland wilderness.  Add a bus load of childhood patterns and old voices.  Add a bus load of 40 chaperones to an unexpected vacation romance. Ten years have passed since she let herself flirt with a dark and handsome man, but when Neal, the bus driver offers his hand to help her up the bus steps; the result is some hard and touching lessons on saying "yes" to love and life and discovering who she is, and not living her parent's expectations of her. 

Fall in love with this adventure of the heart. With a sense of humor and wisdom Kate finds it is never too late to take a coming of age journey.

The landscapes and seascapes show the author's love of nature in a fresh way with original language. An emotionally colorful and visually graphic story, it is warmly humorous, touching and light-hearted.
