At thirty-eight years old, Ruthie finds herself newly unemployed, freshly single, sleeping on a friends couch and downing a bottle of wine each night. Having overstayed her welcome and desperate for a job, Ruthie responds to Davids ad: hes looking for someone to drive his aging mother, Kay, and her belongings from PEI to Vancouver. Ruthie thinks its the perfect chance for a brief escape and a much-needed boost for her empty bank account. But once theyre on the road, Kay reveals that shes got a list of stops along the way thats equal parts sightseeing tour, sexual bucket-list, and trip down memory lane. As David prods for updates and a speedy arrival to his home in Vancouver, Kay begins to share details about a long-lost love and Ruthie takes a detour to play matchmaker, but finds herself caught up in a web of well-intentioned lies. With the road ahead uncertain, and the past and present colliding, will Ruthie be able to forge a new path? Heartfelt and humorous, THE LIST OF LAST CHANCES follows a pair of reluctant travel companions across the country, into an unexpected friendship, new adventures, and the rare gift of second chances.
