The mostly true story of Tanner & Louise
(Book)

Tanner Quimby is at loose ends since she lost her soccer scholarship (and all her friends) at Northwestern because of an accident that damaged her leg. She spends the days in pajamas and playing video games on the couch in her parents' basement. When she blows up once too often at her mother, she's pushed out of the nest and into the home of Louise Wilt, a woman in her 80s who's recovering from hip surgery. Her adult children don't think she should be on her own, so they arrange for Tanner (a family friend) to move in. Thus a new odd couple is formed. But, as Tanner quickly realizes, there's more to Louise than she initially thought. When a letter from her past sends Louise on a cross-country trek, Tanner serves as her driver. Soon the FBI (and possibly some gangsters) are on their trail.
