Not The Trip We Planned is a witty mystery set in Chicago and the suburbs. Two old friends set out to discover the truth behind the sudden death of a friend's husband. These 'women of a certain age' are heartwarming heroes with sharp dialogue and amusing insights into aging.

Written by 2 Northwestern alums, the autographed book fulfills a promise made to each other decades ago during grad school.

Review by award winning author Molly Macrae says: "I'll take a trip with them - planned or unplanned - anytime, no questions asked."
