California Dreaming

By Lorin Cary

Whacky Herb and Dipsey Donna agree to drive to California in Herb's old Plymouth, towing his "free-wheeling," homemade trailer. Along the way, they meet a slew of strange but amiable characters, each of whom, though facing Donna's pistol, gives some writerly advice about the story until Herb and Donna decide it's time for the story to end. Lots of wry and much laugh-out-loud humor.
