Around the Bend
Thelma and Louise they’re not.
First of all, Hilary and Rosemary Delaney are not friends–worse, they’re mother and daughter. Hilary’s a wayward thirty-something running from a marriage proposal, and Rosemary’s her disapproving mother, a retired lawyer who can’t drive and won’t fly.
So they’re driving together across country.
In a cherry-red Mustang.
With a potbellied pig named Reginald, and a life-size cutout of Rosemary’s late husband.
Should be a fun trip.
