It's a wild story:
Jane has worked hard as a trauma nurse practitioner all her life, but when her husband dies of after a long insulting illness, the medical bills could astonish dead people. So she runs. At fifty-eight, she had a facelift and bought a Bowflex machine. At sixty, she hits the road in a converted bus that runs on shit and starts life as an outlaw.
Not surprisingly, she falls in with a bunch of same. A hobby pilot, she gets into a plane delivery caper that introduces her to John, a mob boss who hates his job. Made young by new love and miraculous anti-aging shots, they embark on a mad dash for a new life. Aided by talking foxes, telepathic tigers, and wild misfit bikers, they battle criminals and luck itself to have a second chance....which will only happen if magic is real.
A few reviewer comments:
“Baskin
… has a skill for creating wild stories that are page-turners. “ ----Grady
Harp, Hall of Fame Reviewer, Amazon Books
“Her
writing at times rises to the lyrical and touches your heart.” ---Frank
Konopka, VINE Voice, Amazon reviews
“…this
book has it ALL… talking animals, flying buses, … mobsters, guns and money,
motorcycle gangs and a roadhouse, a heart-stopping love story, an ongoing investigation
into the nature of God … the deeper subject of what makes life meaningful is
approached, meditated upon, (frequently attacked), backed away from, and
approached again.” --- Sarah Fishburn, Amazon VINE Voice
