about the book


Teenage siblings Luke, Celia, and Austin are dreading their summer vacation. A month cooped up in an RV, touring around the Southwest, with their parents, grandmother, and each other? Pure torture.

But when Grandma reveals the real reason for the trip, the journey becomes an unexpected adventure. As they travel through breathtaking canyons, the teens develop new friendships, deepen their faith, and join together to solve a decades-old mystery.

And if the siblings can put down their phones long enough to enjoy the incredible journey, they might just discover that their relationships with each other are truly the greatest treasure.

guest post

Meet the Characters:

Grandma Grace has a secret. She’s recently discovered some information and now insists on recreating a childhood trip. Will she find what she’s searching for before it’s too late?

Luke is dreading the month-long family road trip. He’d much rather stay home and hang out with his friends and enjoy his last summer before his senior year of high school.

Celia can’t think of a worst way to spend her summer than being cooped up in an RV with her family. Then again, it’s a fitting ending to her horrible freshman year of high school.

Austin is sick of his siblings’ condescending attitudes. Roadtripping with them will be pure torture. At least his video games don’t treat him like a pesky little brother.

Siena doesn’t understand why she’s the only family member who’s excited about the family vacation. Maybe as the miles roll by, her humans will start to enjoy the adventure.
