"People-pleasing Hope Robinson cant seem to please anyone lately--not her slogan-spewing boss, not her pink-haired teenage daughter, and especially not her mother, the flamboyant soap-star, Olivia Grant. Olivia loves Elvis more than Jesus, and now that shes on oxygen, she insists Hope take her on a final trip to Graceland. Unfortunately, thats the one place Hope cant go. Eighteen years earlier, pregnant and distraught, Hope fled Tennessee with a secret agreement: to never reveal her babys father and never return to Memphis. Olivia, though, has never learned the word no. After she wrangles Hopes impulsive daughter, Dylan, to drive her from Boston to Memphis with the promise of meeting her mystery father, Hope has no choice but to chase after them. She must stop them before they ambush Dylans father, exposing Hopes lies, breaking the NDA, and igniting a political and media firestorm. Along the road to Memphis, as the women encounter former soap actors, free-range ferrets, and a trio of Elvis-impersonating frat boys, everyones long-held secrets begin to unravel. In order to become the family they long to be, Hope, Olivia, and Dylan must face hard truths about themselves and one another on the bumpy road to acceptance, forgiveness, and ultimately, grace." -- (less)
