Bernice Runs Away

Have you ever dreamed of running away? Life hasn't always been easy for Bernice, but she is reasonably content at the ripe age of eighty-one. She has raised two children, buried both her husband and son, and is doing okay despite a few minor health issues. When Bernice's daughter, Sarah, insists the time has come for Bernice to forfeit her independence and move into her backyard carriage house, Bernice refuses. "I have a perfectly good house in Arkansas. Why on earth would I move to Atlanta?" Despite Bernice's protestations, Sarah moves forward with death cleaning and estate sale planning as though Bernice has no say in the matter. Bernice has plenty to say about a variety of things. With Miss Fiona packed stem to stern with only those things that spark joy (thank you, Marie Kondo) and inspired by an old black-and-white photograph of her first true love, Bernice leaves her cozy home in Savage Crossing without a glance in the rearview mirror. And without a word to her family. Once Bernice decides to run away, there is no telling what might happen next. A charming story of second chances and the transcendent power of love, Bernice Runs Away clears away life's clutter and gets to the truth of what is essential in life.
