Everything was darkness and light, black and white, random dots. She could make out the difference between the white lines and the black road and recognize the circles of light that represented cars in front of her, and she navigated her heavy metal vehicle laden with children by instinct.
Wrong Highway by Wendy Gordon. This debut novel looks to the not-too-distant past to give fresh energy to the story of a frazzled suburban mom trying to meet her obligations and what happens when she takes that first wrong turn.
Wrong Highway is available for pre-order until its June 10 release. Wendy Gordon will launch the book at Powell's Books in Portland on June 15, 2016 at 7:30. She is also having a reading and book signing at Book Revue in Huntington, Long Island on June 21 at 7:00.
Teaser Tuesdays is hosted by MizB at Books and a Beat, where you can find the official rules for this weekly event.
I like the phrase "laden with children." Makes it sound like she considers them a burden! I'd keep reading.

An interesting teaser.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds to me like she shouldn't be driving, what with her mind set. Plus it sounds like she has trouble seeing much. Curious how the cover art ties into this story.
