A THOUSAND MILES TO GRACELAND

Kim Mai Guest narrates the story of an emotionally complex mother-daughter road trip. When Grace's mother, Loralynn, asks for a trip to Graceland for her 70th birthday, guilt makes Grace say yes--and the journey turns into the trip of a lifetime. Guest's portrayal of Grace is that of a woman on the verge of a midlife crisis. She's dissatisfied with her career and personal life, and feels worried and guilty about a parent who lives far away. Grace may be unhappy, but she loves her difficult and complicated mother. Guest's sparkling portrayal of Loralynn brings boundless energy to the journey. Loralyn is a Southern spitfire who refuses to let anything slow her down, not her contrary daughter, a difficult marriage, or a cancer diagnosis.
