Maps for the Getaway: A Novel

If you love Susan Mallery, you won't want to miss this novel of three high school friends who find themselves emotionally fractured when tragedy strikes, so they go on a road trip they'll never forget and rediscover what made them “best friends forever.”

It was the road trip of their lives . . . and they did it without a map.

When they posed for a photo at their high school graduation, they vowed they'd be friends forever, but teenage promises are so easily broken, and now, thirty years later, they're practically strangers.

Cici-stuck in a rut, married to a cheating husband.

Genie-caring for her ailing father but never getting any thanks.

Kate-everyone knows people who look perfect on Instagram are not.

And Laurie-the most successful of them all-now tragically gone.

So, to celebrate Laurie's life, three former friends in a 1962 red Lincoln Continental convertible take the road trip of their lives-encountering male strippers, a boy band that has seen better days, crazy motel rooms, adopting a so-ugly-it's-cute stray dog...and discovering that it's never too late to live the wild life.

Because, sometimes, to find yourself you have to get away.

I was immediately enchanted! Lively and heartfelt, the characters—both human and four legged—in Annie England Noblin’s St Francis Society for Wayward Pets come alive. I adored it.

Susan Wiggs

Feelgood fiction at its finest. Annie England Noblin has crafted an utterly entertaining tale of unexpected chances and small-town secrets, and it’s as sweet and comforting as a hand-knit sweater and a warm puppy in your lap.
