The book Hadley & Grace has been compared to the movie Thelma & Louise, and with reason.
 Two women, practically strangers at the beginning, end up on the road together, on the run. Circumstances from their damaged lives have driven them away from their homes, and into running from the law. Add in their mix of children and it's quite a travelling road show. 
 This character-driven drama will grab you early on and keep you entertained throughout. It's sad, funny, hopeful, and secrets from each other's pasts keep the action moving. 
 Hadley & Grace by Suzanne Redfearn is rather unlike most books I've read and I was pulled in - by not only the characters (Skipper!) and the morphing friendships, but also the empowerment resulting through the journey. 
It's a story of women navigating lives they never intended, and being stronger together because of it.
