Sometimes the toughest road is the one that leads back to yourself.

After the sudden loss of her partner, Chris sets out on a cross-country road trip, carrying grief, guilt, and more questions than answers. With no real plan -- and no GPS to guide her through heartbreak -- she heads west, hoping distance will bring clarity.

Along the way, Chris crosses paths with people who gently disrupt her isolation. Their kindness, shared vulnerability, and unexpected humor begin to soften the guarded parts of her heart. When she finds herself unexpectedly drawn to one of them, old wounds resurface, leaving her uncertain, awkward, and afraid to risk love again.

As Chris attempts to reconnect with family she hasn't seen in years, unspoken differences complicate her search for belonging. Pulled between the past and the possibility of something new, she must confront the ways grief -- and fear -- have shaped her choices.

When a shocking incident at a small-town library brings everything to a head, Chris faces a moment of reckoning that will determine whether she remains closed off or opens herself to connection, forgiveness, and joy.

At its heart, The Salt and Light Express is a warm, hopeful novel about grief, resilience, and the transformative power of friendship -- especially between two older women navigating loss, renewal, and the question of whether it's ever too late to begin again.

Perfect for readers who love character-driven stories about healing, connection, and second chances.
