When Miss Norma was diagnosed with terminal cancer, she was advised to undergo surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. But instead of confining herself to a hospital bed for what could be her last days, Norma - newly widowed after nearly seven decades of marriage - rose to her full height of 5 feet and told her doctor: 'I'm 90 years old. I'm hitting the road'. This book is the charming, infectiously joyous chronicle of her experiences on the road with her retired son Tim, his wife, Ramie, and their poodle, Ringo - from a hot-air balloon trip and her first-ever pedicure, to meeting strangers who became firm friends and bonding as a family in ways they never expected.
