Description Concering Books Harriet Beamer Takes the Bus (Harriet Beamer #1)

Aging and recent widow Harriet Beamer insists she’s getting along fine with her dog Humphrey in Philadelphia … until she falls for the fourth time, injuring her ankle, and causing her son and daughter-in-law to cry foul. Insisting Harriet move in with them in California, they make a bet that her ankle is broken, and she foolishly promises to move if they’re right. Four x-rays later, Harriet’s ankle—and her heart—are broken. She packs up, ships her huge salt and pepper collection to California, and prepares to move away from the only life she knows. The only catch? She’s doing it her way. Just wait till her daughter-in-law hears Harriet will travel cross country only by public transportation and alternate means. What follows is a hilarious, heartwarming journey by train, metro bus, ferry, and motorcycle. Along the way, Harriet discovers that although her family thinks it’s time for her to be put out to pasture—God has a different plan.

Assessment Containing Books Harriet Beamer Takes the Bus (Harriet Beamer #1)

Sweet story about a widow who is forced to leave her home and move in with her son and daughter-in-law. However, Harriet is doing it on her terms. She is making the trek from Philadelphia to Grass Valley, California via public transportation. And she doesn't want to take the Greyhound. Harriet is in search of self, purpose, and of course the salt and pepper shaker museum in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Harriet meets many interesting people along the way. Inner strength pushes her on as well as the

I want to be like Harriet. I really enjoyed reading about Harriets travels and her positive, take-charge attitude. I think there is a little bit of Harriet in all of us, especially seniors who still want to experience all that life has to offer. I gave it four stars because some of the story was a little far fetched but still a fun and memorable read.

Really enjoyed this one. Such a fun book of all harriet's experiences crossing the country on a bus. What an adventure!! I listened to it on audio.

2.5 stars. The kindle version has some grammatical errors and rough transitions between characters but it's a cute story and a fun idea. I'm not sure we need to know what she does with her luggage every. single. time. she boards a bus or her worries about passing gas...but entertaining story and fun to learn a little about some unique places in America.
