By her 50s Cassie has already weathered more than most. She was orphaned at the age of two and has never understood why her parents were on a bridge in West Virginia that happened to collapse as they drove across. Her search for answers prompted a failed career in journalism, and now she’s an aspiring novelist waiting for her literary dreams to come true while teaching at a local community college. She stood by her once-doting husband when his meteorology career took a nosedive and just learned that the man who became an internet meme has been cheating on her.
Fed up, she embarks on a road trip that’s heavy on impulse and light on planning. She might not know where she’s headed, but she does know she might as well start at the beginning. What really happened to her parents all those years ago?
