Eddie plays music that is wordless and jazzy. The sun beams through the windows, landing on my leg and making it burn. This special little box in this special little place, all by itself with nothing else around, is to hold our grandfather. In the other, a locked wooden box with brass fittings. Under the bags, there’s the trunk compartment. You don’t have to be a flight attendant to figure that out.
Our handbags and computer bags go on top of the roller bags. Stacked side by side in a neat single row because that’s the only way it fits. With no spouse or significant other, she has the whole seat to herself. She’s six years younger than me and sometimes it feels like a hundred. One seat left, way in the back, and that’s Portia. Again, later for that, because our spouses weren’t supposed to be here. I’m okay to look at, though not as young or thin as I used to be. I’m two years younger than Eddie and he never lets me forget it. The middle seat is for the middle child, and that’s me. His wife sits next to him, but I’ll get to her.
We sit according to our rank, the oldest in the driver’s seat. Men can get away with that and still be the hero, but a cheating wife is unforgivable. Not murder, though, at least not the cold-blooded kind. Someone who may break the rules to protect her family but doesn’t kill anyone unless it’s self-defense. She can’t be perfect, though, because that’ll just make you feel bad about yourself. Just to name a few reasons.īut money is a powerful motivator. It’s even harder when you’re all keeping secrets and trying to forget a memory, a missing person, an act of revenge, the man in the black truck who won’t stop following your car – and especially when at least one of you is a killer and there’s a body in the trunk.
But when their wealthy grandfather dies and leaves a cryptic final message in his wake, the siblings and their respective partners must come together for a cross-country road trip to fulfill his final wish and – more importantly – secure their inheritance.īut time with your family can be tough. And for very good reasons – we’ll get to those later. You will never look at family road trips the same way again.” (Lisa Gardner, number one New York Times best-selling author)Ī most anticipated book by Hello Sunshine ∙ Cosmo ∙ Entertainment Weekly ∙ Betches ∙ Hollywood Reporter ∙ Parade ∙ PopSugar ∙ OK!
