    'In my dreams I was always in some vast landscape on a long straight road. Driving. Always driving.' Gwenda had always loved the open road but her home town of Newcastle didn't really offer the sort of adventure she longed for. So in 1957 with friend and fellow nurse Pat in tow she left the dismal British winter behind and embarked on an amazing American adventure. After a year nursing in Cleveland Gwenda Pat and three new friends set off on a road trip around North America driving in a rickety 1949 Ford. What follows is the charming true story of five remarkable young women. Over the course of eighteen months the girls go to a 4th July rodeo visit San Francisco and Las Vegas learn to surf in Hawaii spot movie stars in Hollywood and celebrate Mardi Gras in New Orleans. Wherever they go the travelling nurses cause a sensation. This is a delightfully nostalgic memoir of friendship and the romance of the open road.
