Tanner Quimby, a 21-year-old college dropout with no money or credit, needs a place to live and a job, especially one where she can play video games nineteen hours a day in her sweatpants. She takes a job as a live-in caregiver for an elderly woman named Louise Wilt.

Louise has no interest in having a full-time live-in nanny. She can still walk fine, finish her daily crossword puzzle, and pour the two fingers of vodka she enjoys every afternoon. But her controlling daughter demands otherwise. Tanner and Louise start their living arrangement ignoring each other until Tanner starts to notice weird things. Like, why does Louise keep her garden shed locked tighter than a prison? Why is the local news fixated on the suspect of one of the biggest jewelry heists in history who looks eerily like Louise? And why does Louise suddenly appear in her room, with a packed bag at 1a.m., insisting they leave town immediately?

Thus begins the story of a not-to-be-underestimated elderly woman and an aimless young woman who—if they can outrun the mistakes of their past—just might have the greatest adventure of their lives. New York Times bestselling author, Mary Kay Andrews, wrote, “A funny, fresh take on unlikely friendships and family, I’d ride shotgun with Tanner and Louise in a heartbeat!” Don’t miss the rest of this captivating story.
