Bláznivá jízda - Road trip za štěstím plný splněných přání – Myers Christina (2023)

Ruthie is thirty-eight. She has just lost her job and her fiancé, sleeps on a creaky couch at a friend's place, and drowns her world pain in wine. She feels that both she and her struggling bank account desperately need a change. An advertisement from a certain David Marche seeking a caregiver to accompany his elderly mother on a journey from the east coast of Canada to him in Vancouver on the other side of the country. With the prospect of a generous reward and a welcome break from her daily routine, Ruthie eagerly welcomes the offer. ***** Her main task is to ensure they arrive safely at their destination. However, once they set off, seventy-two-year-old Kay pulls out a long list of things she would like to experience and do during their journey across the continent, and a mere sightseeing tour is definitely not on the agenda. While David's wish is to have his mother with him as quickly as possible, the women share their stories along the way, and Ruthie realizes that fulfilling her employer's request will be more challenging than she had imagined... ***** The pair of travelers, who have very little in common, face an uncertain and long journey where the present intertwines with the past and no wish remains secret. Will Ruthie find the right turn to finally take her life into her own hands...
