The Lutheran Ladies Circle: Thanks for Leaving

Eccentric Aunt Ula ditches the Lutheran Ladies crowded car to National Convention for a train trip to her past. She’s collecting pieces of her life. Her story of “running away” at sixteen is molded by a deeply human cast of characters as she struggles to grow up under the cloud of WWII, strict nuns and the cussing pipe fitters. She soon discovers what’s “over and done” doesn’t always stay that way More

Where does an old lady sneak off to when she ditches her church group?
If she’s stubborn and peppery like Aunt Ula, she rides a train back to her secrets?

Ula’s looking for pieces of her past, and the trail began on a southern railway over sixty years ago.
This time, a guilt-laden, leopard-haired gal has decided to be her friend and seatmate. The twenty-five-year-old is also running away, her remorse trailing all the way back to Texas. The two discover they have stories in common and secrets to share.

But Ula can’t explain the force driving her to collect the pieces of her past—particularly a memento hidden by a man most people think is a figment of her imagination.
With the strange Texas gal’s help, she may be able to find it…
