Description
After a hysterectomy leaves a middle-aged Hollywood sound editor adrift, Maggie Clary finds that her familiar routines, friendships, and professional life can no longer lift her from a quiet depression. Joined by her best friend, Connie, she sets off on an impulsive road trip to Texas, where misadventures, eccentric relatives, and unexpected detours challenge both women to confront what they have been avoiding. Blending Hollywood satire, offbeat comedy, and emotional candor, the novel explores aging, friendship, grief, and the restless search for renewal. Its amiable, character-driven style gives the journey a distinctly McMurtry mix of absurdity, melancholy, and human warmth.
