What’s crazier than leaving everything behind, talking your wife and four little kids for a wild cross-country adventure in a big blue bus called Willie?
I. don’t. know.
It’s my proverbial nightmare, but I loved reading about what Shawn and Maile Smucker did and learned along the way. Some close shaves, some breakdowns, some tantrums, and some tender moments had me intermittently cringing and smiling.
You hear from both sides of the marital duo in this real life travel tale, and as the book progresses, the virtues of both of them are refined and deepened.
I’m sure there will be a lot of talk about this book release today. You can follow along on Twitter by searching #RunawayTruckRamp
