Opis

With a death sentence of an inoperable brain tumor, Samantha Collins tries to come to terms with the meaning of life, her belief in God, her battle with sobriety and her hope of it all ending on the beach. As Sam's life dwindles away, memories of abuse, mistakes and bad choices haunt her by way of terrifying nightmares. She relives her tumultuous childhood, remembering the beatings her brother received and the sexual abuse her sister endured so that she wouldn't have to. Sam's escape at an early age led her to a life of alcohol dependency as she partied her way into her adulthood. Now, almost forty years later, she rides her Honda Goldwing across the country with her passenger and trusty companion, MyLo, a wolf-like dog, on the back as she says goodbye to the people she loves. Laugh with her as her best friend and confidant, Johnny Styles, jumps into characters of his favorite movies. Cry with her as she meets up with her old friends, Cody, Leeny, and Mac and reminisces about the past. While she can't decide if she should make new friends, her good-natured banter with the fearsome, domineering, Judge Styles, Johnny's father, opens up a whole new world for her. In an incredibly short time, she becomes part of a family she could never have imagined. Learn how one life can touch so many and have such a drastic impact on those around her.
