From the Back Cover
Dallas housewife Lurene Hallett ( Michelle Pfeiffer) feels such a strong personal connection to her idol, Jackie Kennedy, that when JFK is assassinated, she defies her husband and boards an eastbound bus, determined to 'be there for Jackie' at the funeral. On board she meets a mysterious Blackman travelling with a sad, silent little girl. But when Lurene realizes he's given her a false name, she fears she has uncovered a kidnapping plot. As a result of her well-intentioned meddling, the trio end up on the run from the police, and ultimately, on the road to deep friendship that defies racial boundaries and changes each of them forever.
