About this ebook
Mickey's parents have three outdated ideas about pursuing a university degree:
If a young woman isn't socially adept enough to find nice men to date, her parents should send her to college to get her "MRS" degree.
People with trust funds might as well use them for higher education rather than wasting them on a debauched lifestyle.
Leaving home to attend college is an acceptable way to prepare for a job if you live in Podunk, Montana.
The problem is, Mickey lives in Chicago, doesn't have a trust fund, and never met a stranger. It appears she's stuck in a dead end job driving a senior citizens' bus. Is she doomed to a blue collar job while her best friend enjoys life on campus?
Time marches on, and Mickey has a few awkward confrontations with several passengers: a man with an illicit side hustle, a woman who hoards newspapers--even her chihuahua Napoleon won't behave! Despite these complexities, she finds herself intuitively capable of helping those in distress. Could these skills contribute to the scholarship applications she continues to complete, despite her parents' indifference?
Just when she's ready to scream in frustration, Mickey finds new purpose volunteering for a fundraising committee chaired by a handsome Ph.D student. But at the fundraiser's after-party a hopeful introduction to a potential mentor is interrupted by the appearance of her scofflaw passenger. Will her innate compassion and emotional intelligence lead to a university career, or will she just 'drive her life away?'
