About the Book
What happens when a “normal” American family decides that normal just isn’t working?
In the aftermath of COVID and a season that shook everything familiar, one family hit the reset button… by packing up their life, renting out their house, and taking to the open road in an RV for a year.
This book is the honest, funny, and heartfelt story of navigating uncertain times through an unconventional choice. Over 14,000 miles, the journey delivered far more than scenic views. There were breakdowns and breakthroughs. Tears and laughter. Broken things and fixed things. Flooded floors, locked storage compartments, swarms of flies, a bear attack on the car, and countless moments that would become family lore forever.
But more than the mishaps and miles, this is a story about choosing connection over comfort… memories over routines… and presence over predictability.
