Joanne Richards has had anything but a typical life. She almost died in her twenties, lost custody of her kids, through no fault of her own, and lived a lie. Now, in her sixties, she's going traipsing about the country with a man she barely knows, who claims to be her daughter-in-law's uncle. But what happens when you put a man and a woman in a motorhome for a week? The usual, of course...spanking, sex, and a delicious game of cards. Anything to keep her mind off the fact that she is about to see the man who ruined her life so many years ago. Will her father be different, or will he be the same man he's always been? Deceptive and evil...only time will tell.
