'The Mostly True Story of Tanner & Louise' by Louise Oakley - An unforgettable pairing of a college dropout and an 84-year-old woman on the run from the law. 21-year-old Tanner Quimby needs a place to live. Her options are limited, so when an opportunity to work as a live-in caregiver for an elderly woman falls into her lap, she takes it.
Louise Wilt’s daughter demands that Louise have a full-time nanny living with her. Never mind that she can still walk fine and pour the two fingers of vodka she drinks every afternoon. Bottom line: Louise wants a caretaker even less than Tanner wants to be one.
The two start off their living arrangement happily ignoring each other until Tanner starts to notice weird things. Like, why is the local news fixated on the suspect of one of the biggest jewelry heists in American history who looks eerily like Louise? And why does Louise suddenly appear in her room, with a packed bag at 1 a.m insisting that they leave town immediately?
Thus begins the story of a not-to-be-underestimated elderly woman and an aimless young woman who—if they can outrun the mistakes of their past—might just have the greatest adventure of their lives. Amazon Link
