Produktbeschreibung
In this poignantly quirky ride through Brooklyn, an idealistic young woman shares her earnest joy with her Uber clients, her cranky father, and the Wall Street hotshot who started it all. Joybird Martin--an Uber driver with cheerfulness to spare--desperately wants to be a life coach. She's so sunny about her chances that even her snarky father--a has-been TV writer with a failed third marriage--can't dim her light. So when he shows up broke on her doorstep, Joybird takes him in with no questions asked, trying to find a balance between her bright optimism and his sarcastic pessimism. It works, and she continues sharing her earnest wisdom with her Uber riders. After she helps handsome Wall Street exec Devon Cato, he convinces her to become a life coach from the front seat of her Honda. As Joybird's dreams take the wheel, she finds direction for her clients...and herself. She's not sure what to do about her attraction to Devon, but she soon learns exactly what she can do for her father. And a journey into his past might just pave the way for her own bright future.
