The Book:

When sisters, Deborah & Nancy, discovered that motherhood was a temp job they resolved to run away from home. After packing up that last kid for college, and facing their suddenly silent homes, they decided to leave the country. 2 Broads Abroad: Moms Fly the Coop is a funny, irreverent, occasionally poignant travel tale of their impulsive and ill-planned road trip around Ireland.

Leaving their husbands, their dogs, their responsibilities, and their houses behind, they flew off to experience fairytale castles, abandoned ruins, and verdant hillsides, along with whimsical hoteliers, eccentric Irish history, engaging locals, unanticipated dangers, one little ghost, and every pub with an "Open" sign.

Channeling their own Irish heritage they provoke laughter in the midst of nostalgia, as they careen down the wrong side of Ireland's country roads reminiscing about maniacal school coaches, tiger moms, and neurotic neighbors.

Deborah and Nancy bring their journey and their sisterly bond to life in this is a fast-paced, funny, and charming read.

"Travel is a bit like waking up."
