Two women. One crisis. And a relationship that blurs the line between support and possession.
About The Author
Born in 1955, Carmine B. Littleworth has been connected to the natural world her entire life, shaped by hardworking parents, Sierra Nevada landscapes, and the kind of clean mountain water you never forget. After seven decades of watching a beloved planet change, she now writes with a clear purpose: to help people of every background talk to each other, heal divisions, and begin the real work of repair. Excuse Me! May We Please Turn This Bus Around? is her hopeful invitation to start those conversations, honestly, safely, and with love at the center.
