ABOUT:

Kathleen is eighty years old. After she has a run-in with an intruder, her daughter wants her to move into a residential home. But she’s not having any of it. What she craves—what she needs—is adventure.

Liza is drowning in the daily stress of family life. The last thing she needs is her mother jetting off on a wild holiday, making Liza long for a solo summer of her own.

Martha is having a quarter-life crisis. Unemployed, unloved and uninspired, she just can’t get her life together. But she knows something has to change.

When Martha sees Kathleen’s advertisement for a driver and companion to share an epic road trip across America with, she decides this job might be the answer to her prayers. She’s not the world’s best driver, but anything has to be better than living with her parents. And traveling with a stranger? No problem. Anyway, how much trouble can one eighty-year-old woman be?

As these women embark on the journey of a lifetime, they all discover it’s never too late to start over…

The Summer Seekers by Sarah Morgan Review

I can only hope that I will be a feisty and eccentric senior that can live in my own home for years to come. Independence is huge for anyone especially those in their later years. I love stories that combine the feisty nature of the elderly and the younger generation who need guidance and wisdom! This book is a fabulous example of that concept.

A beautifully written experience that combines a trip across America with two practical strangers which becomes a lesson in life and in living life. Morgan creates characters with fun-loving personalities in Kathleen and Martha, balanced with a stressed out daughter who is cracking under pressure of work, responsibilities, and missing her partner. The Summer Seekers is a showpiece that I can so relate to with the intersection of these three personalities. They balance and work together perfectly.

Morgan writes with a heart full of feeling and emotion that cracks your armor with each chapter. She weaves a tale that delights which is full of detail and surprises along with way. A story that is both familiar yet surprising and leaves you smiling and uplifted. A perfect summer escape story not to be missed!
