Driving Miss Norma by Tim Bauerschmidt, Ramie Liddle

 256 pages

"When Miss Norma was diagnosed with uterine cancer, she was advised to undergo surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. But instead of confining herself to a hospital bed for what could be her last stay, Miss Norma—newly widowed after nearly seven decades of marriage—rose to her full height of five feet and told the doctor, 'I’m ninety years old. I’m hitting the road.'

"And so Miss Norma took off on an unforgettable around-the-country journey in a thirty-six-foot motor home with her retired son Tim, his wife Ramie, and their dog Ringo."  --from the publisher

I thoroughly enjoyed this book full of encouragement to really live your life rather than just mark time. I give it four out of five stars.
