Download Queen of the Road: The True Tale of 47 States, 22,000 Miles, 200 Shoes, 2 Cats, 1 Poodle, a Husband, and a Bus with a Will of its Own AudioBook Free
A pampered Long Island princess hits the road in a changed bus with her wilderness-loving husband, travels the country for one calendar year, and brings everything hilariously alive in this offbeat and romantic memoir. Doreen and Tim are hitched psychiatrists with a twist: She's a self-proclaimed Long Island princess, grouchy inactive, and footwear addict. He's an affable, though powered, outdoorsman. When Tim advises "chucking everything" to visit cross-country in a changed bus, Doreen asks, "Why can't you be like a normal husband in a midlife problems and have an affair or buy a Corvette?" But she soon shocks them both, agreeing to set forth with their 60-pound dog, two querulous cats - no plan - in a 340-square-foot bus. Queen of the Street is Doreen's offbeat and romantic tale about refusing to stay; about choosing the unconventional street with all the current misadventures it brings (flames, flood, equipped robbery, and finding themselves in a nudist RV recreation area, to name only a few). The marvelous places they visit and delightful people they face have a life-changing effect on all the travelers, as Doreen grows to appreciate the simple life, Tim mellows, and even the household pets pull together. On top of that, readers get to complement for the trip through 47 expresses in this often entertaining and always enjoyable memoir, in which a boisterous matrimony of polar opposites becomes more robust than ever.
