About
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. "Perfect for fans of Bobbi French, Driving into the Sun is a taut yet tender exploration of familial obligation and love, the silences that harm us, and the terror and confusion of an unfurling mind."-Charlene Carr, award-winning author of WE RIP THE WORLD APART
"Driving into the Sun is a sister novel, a road trip novel, a dysfunctional family novel. On their thwarted journey to the sunniest city in BC, all the main characters contend with their unique darkness, but each one, in her own broken, desperate way, reaches for the light. Babcock's honest and engaging storytelling gets me deeply invested in her characters ... and their poor messed-up family. I'd follow these three women anywhere (though I might not sit at the same table--they're the type to throw stuff, even punches). This novel captures the (sometimes insurmountable) challenges of contemporary family life, but also its aching beauty." -Angie Abdou, award-winning author of The Bone Cage
"Emotionally raw and quietly uplifting, this story of two estranged sisters and their ailing mother driving across the west powerfully unfolds what it takes to travel the hard road of forgiveness." -Thomas Wharton, award-winning author of The Book of Rain "Becca Babcock beautifully invites us on a road trip where two sisters struggle with all the moments, all the small choices which can create chasms between them. A raw meditation on mercy."-R.W. Grey, award-winning author of Entropic
