Eadie T. Pratt sets out on a road trip in search of a new life and ends up in the middle of somewhere she never expected. Start with one independent, urban lesbian who cashes out her life in San Francisco for a secondhand travel trailer and sets off to the Michigan Womyn’s Music Festival in search of a new life. Add to this a broken-down ’66 T-bird, a bunch of small-town Texas Baptists, a ton of fried food, and a church scandal. Pepper with a hot love interest and a dash of greed, and what you get is Eadie T. Pratt’s road trip gone awry.

This review is for the audio book. This is one of the better author narrated books I've listened to. One reviewer said that Henderson is an Improv actress which is probably why I enjoyed her performance. She does the distinct voices of a relatively large cast of characters very well.
 
The book's MC is Eadie, who is on a road trip after a bad breakup to a women's music festival in Michigan. I'm not sure how she ended up leaving San Francisco and breaking down in a small town in Texas when her goal is Michigan. Her '66 mustang while pulling a small trailer, breaks down in a small town in Texas and is rescued by a couple of Baptist sisters. It is around this point I was ready to quit listening to this book. Eadie was unlikable, she is very self-centered and prejudiced against the small town inhabitants. I had to put it down for a bit and I'm glad I continued on. Eventually, Eadie comes to care about the sisters who came to her aid, finds friends, love, and adventure. There is humor, but not laugh out loud humor especially when compared to Robin Alexander's Lure of White Oak Lake. I enjoyed the book and would recommend it.
