Ray Midge is befuddled when his wife takes off with his car, his money, and her ex-husband. When credit card statements start rolling in, he takes off to find them (in the ex-husband's clunker). His search takes him across the southern United States and into Mexico, where he meets a cast of eccentric characters. Through it all, Ray maintains a sense of humor without a sense of revenge--he justs wants what is rightfully his.
This book is quirky in a fantastic way. Perhaps the funniest book I have read. I don't want to give too much away ... at the end of the book I definitely saw a meaning to draw from the series of situations/observations the main character found himself in.
