About This Book

A spirited party of young women undertakes an ambitious motor-car tour across the continent, narrating an episodic journey of mechanical troubles, wild weather, and improvised hospitality. Their travels mix comic mishaps, near dangers, chance romances, and small mysteries encountered at inns, mountain passes, and desert camps as they pass through places such as the Rockies and Salt Lake City en route to San Francisco. Friendship, resourcefulness, and the novelty of automobile travel shape the narrative, with recurring incidents that test courage and ingenuity while leading to humorous, romantic, and reassuring resolutions.
