When the moment for Gene to take Nancy to her desired death in Coffeeville arrives she is unexpectedly admitted to the secure unit of a nursing home and he is constrained to call upon the help of his two remaining friends: Bob Crenshaw, a man who has been officially dead for forty years, and Jack Guravitch, a disgraced weatherman in the throes of a midlife crisis. They 'kidnap' Nancy and drive to Mississippi in a stolen tour bus once owned by Paul McCartney. Along the way they are joined by a young orphan boy called Eric and an exotic dancer named Susan.

Review:
'It's rare to find a first novel that has as sure a touch as this one, with the writing being a combination of Bill Bryson travelogue with humour from James Thurber and Garrison Keillor.' * * * * * - Steve, Goodreads

'If The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared was a book you enjoyed then I'm sure this book will delight and entertain you just as much.' Farmer Giles - Library Thing

'This is a book well worth reading. * * * * * - Gill Chedgey, Shelfari

'I thought the book flowed beautifully and I thoroughly enjoyed it. There will inevitably be comparisons with The 100 Year Old Man and I'm certain that if you enjoyed that book you will love this one too. * * * * * - Sue Packer, Goodreads

'I found myself laughing out loud with the characters. I really enjoyed this story.' - Jane Brown, Book Depository

'This really is a funny and wonderful story about friendship lost love and love regained and challenges our thoughts of Alzheimer s and death. Everything dealt with sympathy but a smile on the side with some gut wrenching laughs, and well worth reading.' - Paul, Goodreads

'Funny? Definitely. Sad? Absolutely. Worth reading? Totally.' - Him Up North, Goodreads

'This motley crew is reminiscent of Little Miss Sunshine, and just as quirky. Their exploits, as they career across America will have you in stitches, and in tears just as frequently.' - Amazon

'I recommend this book to anyone who likes to read!' * * * * * - --Green Metropolis

'A funny road trip story...but this brave debut novel also tackles sensitive issues and does so in a confident manner.' - We Love This Book (15 May)

'Deftly handled with an offbeat humour & a deal of worldly compassion.' - Sunday Sport

'A fascinating and poignant novel... a very meaningful read.' - --Woman's World

'There is heartbreak, but enough black humour to stop it being sentimental. The book is also an excellent primer of recent U.S. history told through the eyes of the people not the politicians who have moulded the American dream.'- --Daily Mail
About the Author:
J Paul Henderson spent four years in Mississippi, leaving with a doctorate in 20thC US History and more knowledge of Darlington Hoopes than was arguably necessary. (Hoopes was a Pennsylvanian socialist and the last presidential candidate of the American Socialist Party).
