More News Tomorrow by Susan Richards Shreve

Georgianna has never played by other people's rules. She survived her mother's murder and her father's prison sentence at an early age and then survived her husband's passing leaving her with a handful of young children. As she turns 70 and she receives a letter from someone who was there when her mother was found, she decides a road trip is in order. She gathers up her ragtag family and plans a crazy trip by canoe back to the scene of her mother's murder at a boys camp in remote Wisconsin. The expedition includes her grown children and grandchildren who oddly enough, mimic the ages of the original trip goers. Can she find closure and the answers she needs before her family bolts or she puts them in a dangerous situation? Still and quiet as a lake at dawn, this story should be savored slowly and with great purpose. I loved Georgie's oddball look at life and her wise but quirky grandson Thomas and you will too.
