Rules of the Road by Joan Bauer

3.0

Jenna is asked by Mrs. Gladstone, the owner of the shoe store chain she works for, to drive her to Texas for a shareholders meeting. They stop at different Gladstone's Shoes stores along the way and Jenna offers more to Mrs. Gladstone than just being her driver - she "scouts" how the stores are doing, she helps when Mrs. Gladstone needs medical assistance, and she give Mrs. Gladstone the inner strength she needs to fight the impending takeover of the business. This trip is more than Jenna helping Mrs. Gladstone, though, Jenna also learns more about herself on this journey - about her strengths, about how to deal with her family's issues, and about what she can do for the company she likes working for.

This was a nice book about the journey of a young lady overcoming her childhood and her family to find her inner strength and purpose. It was fun watching the relationship between Jenna and Mrs. Gladstone unfold.
