Open Road: A Midlife Memoir of Travel Through the National Parks (Memoir Series Book 2)
Categories: Kindle Store, Kindle eBooks, Biographies & Memoirs

Fans of Cheryl Strayed’s Wild , Bill Bryson’s A Walk in the Woods , and Elizabeth Gilbert’s Eat, Pray, Love will enjoy author Toby Neal’s road trip travel memoir of self-discovery as she and her husband journey through the national parks. I had a dream to live a “normal” life, and I attained it; but along the way, I lost myself. My story began in Freckled: a Memoir of Growing up Wild in Hawaii , but it continued after I married the man of my dreams, completed my education with multiple degrees, had a successful career, and raised two beautiful children. I sacrificed to get to where I was. Though I didn’t regret anything, flat on my back in the doctor’s office on the cusp of my fiftieth birthday, my health was crumbling. I no longer recognized myself. I turned my head and saw a calendar on the wall: Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah beckoned me with its mysterious sandstone hoodoos. A road trip traveling through the national parks was just what I needed to rediscover the girl I’d been. It could help me turn a corner into my new career as a writer, and my husband would enjoy a chance to photograph the natural wonders we saw. Sometimes, a twelve-thousand-mile road trip is also a personal quest. "An absorbing travel narrative about defining and facing the limitations and opportunities of midlife."~ KIRKUS Reviews
