Driving into the Sun

A road trip, a wedding, and a family crisis that tests two sisters’ love.

When Annie gets engaged to a woman she met online, she asks her sister Molly to travel across the country and help move herself and their elderly mother, who has been living with the effects of a traumatic brain injury, from Alberta to B.C. The estranged sisters must endure one another's now unfamiliar company, their mother’s unpredictable moods and behaviours, and the memories and resentments resurrected through the long drive. And when their mother suddenly goes missing in the middle of nowhere, the truth of what caused her injuries more than twenty years ago threatens to destroy the sisters’ tenuous relationship forever.

Driving into the Sun is the fourth novel from award-winning writer Becca Babcock. It is a road trip story about a family irreparably changed and the journey that ultimately tests their capacity to love and to forgive the hurt and anger of their past.
