On My Way There - Jaycie Morrison - Bog

Maxine Terrell lurches into adulthood madly in love with a woman and her child. Unfortunately, Daphne Polk is someone else's wife, and her daughter Lena is someone else's child. But Daphne's been there for her ever since Max and her father weathered a terrible tragedy, one that's still whispered about in their small Texas town. After years of hope and heartbreak, and too many lies to count, Max seems poised to settle for the various "friends with benefits" she encounters. Unexpectedly wealthy after her father's death and emotionally adrift with no idea what she really wants from life, Max decides to take to the road and signs up to become a truck driver. During her training in Lubbock, she meets Trillian--"Thrill"--and manages to screw things up from the start. After another chance encounter and a sweet kiss she can't forget, Max begins to rethink not only what, but who she really wants. As Max traverses the open road, her journey of impossible love, loss, and courage mirrors her voyage of self-discovery. But before she can look to the future, she must come to terms with the history she'd rather forget.
