Description

After his job lays him off, Cosmo Greco takes his sister, Silvia, up on her offer to drive to Portland. At the beginning of the trip, a Mack truck wipes them off the road, nearly killing them. This near-death experience is a wake-up call for Cosmo, and he begins to question the life he’s been leading. He realizes that he is not happy with his current life and wants to make a change. A number of encounters along the way reinforce this desire, but he’s afraid to leave the familiarity of his humdrum existence for the unknown.


Cosmo’s journey is set against the backdrop of the American road with vivid and soulful descriptions and a cast of colorful characters. So come along on a journey of adventure and awakening.



This book is the sequel to Olive Branches Don't Grow On Trees and the second book in the Greco family trilogy, although it can be read as a stand-alone.

Advance Praise

"The anecdotes she chronicles here -in the straightforward writer's trope of the "Road Story", are at once very believable and at the same time utterly unique. No small feat, as the genre of the "road story" is a well worn path, and it's rare than anyone has anything new to offer...If you like character driven stories with unique, quirky, characters that seem to come alive off the page, all set against the beautiful backdrop of the 'American Road Story", you'll love this book." Good Reads Review


"The trip is beautifully crafted by the author in that you are able to get a sense of all of the places and just how different they and their peoples are as this brother and sister traverse the country... this book would be good for any who find themselves in a similar situation and makes for a very uplifting and positive read. In fact this is manifestly superior to any so called self-help book in this regard." Library Thing Review
