30 of Your Favorite Books About Changing Your Life
This giveaway is sponsored by HarperOne, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers and publisher of Driving Miss Norma by Tim Bauerschmidt and Ramie Liddle.
At the age of 90, in the same hospital where her husband of 67 years passed away just days earlier, Miss Norma received the news that she had cancer. Declining traditional cancer treatment, Miss Norma opted instead to live the remainder of her life to the fullest, traveling the country in an RV with her son Tim, his wife Ramie, and their poodle, Ringo. As Miss Norma put it to her oncologist: “I’m 90 years old. I’m hitting the road”. Come along for the ride of this unforgettable journey, and let Miss Norma inspire you to say YES to living.
