A road trip yields surprises and secrets in a poignant and exhilarating novel about mothers, daughters, and sisters by the USA Today bestselling author of When We Believed in Mermaids.

India Redding is juggling a web design career, a long-distance romance, and an exasperating promise she made to her late father: keep an eye on her vivacious mother, Eldora. A former Las Vegas showgirl, the flamboyant sixtysomething bombshell never lacks for curveballs. Her latest idea is that she and India hightail it out of Colorado Springs and hit the road for Sin City in her turquoise ’57 Thunderbird.

Eldora can revisit the neon strips of her youth, and together they can track down India’s twin sister, Gypsy, a haunted vagabond artist prone to disappearing. As mother and daughter sail down Route 66—the Mother Road of souvenir shops, outlying motels, and roadside diners—a flood of memories returns for Eldora. So do the secrets of her past that she could never bring herself to share, until now.

But India has her own secrets, too. Maybe she and her mother are getting to know each other, truly, for the first time. Whatever bumps lie ahead, it’s going to be a life-changing ride to remember.

Revised edition: This edition of Lady Luck’s Map of Vegas includes editorial revisions.
