Summary:
When
Miss
Norma
was diagnosed with uterine cancer, she was advised to undergo surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. But instead of confining herself to a hospital bed for what could be her last stay, Norma--newly widowed after nearly seven decades of marriage--rose to her full height of five feet and told her doctor, 'I'm ninety years old. I'm hitting the road.' Packing what she needed,
Norma
took off on an unforgettable cross-country
journey
with three professional nomads--her retired son Tim, his wife Ramie, and their standard poodle Ringo--in a thirty-six-foot RV.
Driving
Miss
Norma
is the charming, infectiously joyous chronicle of their experiences on the road--a transformative
journey
of
living
life on your own terms that shows us that it is never too late to begin an adventure, inspire hope, or become a trailblazer.
