The Mostly True Story of Tanner and Louise by Colleen Oakley 341 pp.
Tanner Quimby is a 21 year old former college student whose dreams were shattered when an injury put an end to her soccer career and her scholarship. Louise Wilts is an elderly woman recovering from a broken hip whose children decide she needs a live-in caretaker even though she is able to care for herself. Tanner takes the job which allows her to play video games most of the day and drive Louise to her various appointments. Then things get weird. Tanner becomes the driver on a sudden cross country trip with Louise to save an old friend of hers. Meanwhile the FBI are on their tail believing Mrs. Wilts to be a dangerous criminal mastermind and jewel thief who has kidnapped Tanner. The story is funny, heartwarming, and strange and I enjoyed it immensely. The audio narration is well done by Hillary Huber.
