Publisher's Summary:
It's easy to become overwhelmed to the point of paralysis these days. Just ask grade-schooler Tina. Better yet, ask Tina's granny.
Her granny has had a rough time of late. First, Tina's grandfather, the family decision maker, died. Next, her granny was saddled with having to care for granddaughter Tina while Tina's mother went to work. That became especially burdensome after Tina's bus driver forgot to drop her off from school one day. However, the worst day of her granny's life was yet to come.
One afternoon Tina finds herself helplessly captive in the backseat of her granny's Lincoln. She can only watch as the pressure of daily decision-making forces away the last of her granny's sanity. Meanwhile, the Lincoln speeds and careens wildly down the streets of Tina's hometown with Tina trapped in the backseat and her granny paralyzed behind the wheel.
Can Tina help her granny break free from her spiral in time to save both their lives?
The decision is in her hands.

Short Story on a Drastic Last Decision
Tinaâs parents both work and depend upon Tinaâs tough-minded grandmother to take care of her after school. Against her grannyâs thoughts, Tinaâs parents decided that Tina should take the bus to grannyâs house, but after the bus failed to stop and drop Tina off after the first day of school, her grannyâs decisive feeling that she should pick Tina up from school and drive her back home. Now, Tina is in the back of the car, as her granny is driving her back from school, while starting to rant that making decisions has become so difficult, she is about to make a final decision, a decision that Tina quickly realizes is not going to go well. This was a very interesting and engrossing tale driven on the comic, yet horrific mental gymnastics pushing grannyâs actions. However, this is a short story which I was able to read in fifteen minutes, so I would expect that this should fit with more tales into a short story collection from the author.
Granny has a Meltdown!
I thought I'd try out this short from author Thorne to test out his writing. I was hooked! The story is about Tina, a young girl who has to cope with her granny's mental demise. The reader is thrown right into a crazy afternoon when granny picks Tina up from school and Tina soon sees, hears and feels terror. Author Thorne has a nice writing style that "shows" rather than "tells" and you'll feel and see every bump under granny's wheels as her car careens over curbs, sidewalks and through crosswalks. Oh, oh, was that a person that granny just ran over? Tina has to come up with a good excuse to get out of granny's car! Will her seat belt unbuckle in time to avoid that concrete wall?
