Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do.... Lisa Henderson's return trip to Denver after dropping off her youngest child at college in Texas has just hit a life-changing detour. With her adorable Westie in tow, Lisa is waiting at Delia's Diner in Humble, Texas, while her engine is repaired, unaware that the mechanics are crooks. As she sits missing her daughter, despairing over her shaky marriage, and mourning her abandoned career as a jazz pianist, in through the diner door comes Trinity Reed. Trinity, a bright young woman roughly the same age as Lisa's daughter, has just been fired by Billy Joe and Bubby Ray Cobb-the corrupt mechanics. Next thing Lisa knows, she, her dog, and a new traveling companion are taking a gun-blazing joyride to Graceland. It's going to be a hilarious and poignant journey, so gentlewomen: start your engines!
