As well as being a high school counselor, ordained minister, long-distance boat captain, and one-time cherry farmer, Ramie is foremost a nomad. She has traveled extensively by land and sea throughout the United States, Mexico and Canada with her husband, Tim, and their standard poodle and therapy dog, Ringo. The traveling team became fortuitous caregivers for Tim's 90-year-old mom, Norma, after she received a cancer diagnosis only two days after her husband, Leo, suddenly died. The approach they took toward Norma's end-of-life care attracted the attention of millions around the world. Ramie has since become a vocal advocate for positive end-of-life experiences for both the dying and those who care for them.

When Miss Norma was diagnosed with uterine cancer, she was advised to undergo surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. But instead of confining herself to a hospital bed for what could be her last stay, Miss Norma—newly widowed after nearly seven decades of marriage—rose to her full height of five feet and told her doctor, “I’m ninety years old. I’m hitting the road.” And so Miss Norma took off on an unforgettable around-the-country journey in a thirty-six-foot motor home with her retired son Tim, his wife Ramie, and their dog Ringo. As this once timid woman says “yes” to living in the face of death, she tries regional foods for the first time, reaches for the clouds in a hot air balloon, and mounts up for a horseback ride. With each passing mile (and one educational visit to a cannabis dispensary), Miss Norma’s health improves and conversations that had once been taboo begin to unfold. Norma, Tim, and Ramie bond in ways they had never done before, and their definitions of home, family, and friendship expand. Stop by stop, state by state, they meet countless people from all walks of life—strangers who become fast friends and welcome them with kindness and open hearts.Infused with this irrepressible nonagenarian’s wisdom, courage, and generous spirit, Driving Miss Norma is the charming, infectiously joyous chronicle of their experiences on the road. It portrays a transformative journey of living life on your own terms that shows us that it is never too late to begin an adventure, inspire hope, or become a trailblazer.
