is going to have any chance to fully rehabilitate his mind, body and his marriage, he will need to be in it for
the long haul
.
Author's note
: Having been a truck driver for many years, this book holds a special place in my heart.
Like Brandon, I was fortunate to survive an accident that nearly took my life. In truth, it was my own
accident that gave me the courage to write this story, fulfilling a promise I made to my grandmother
that I would
share myself
with the world. Many of the intense emotions in this book came back to me
as I wrote portions of this story. Also, some of these incidents are
tales from the road
, and actually
happened.
I hope that you enjoy this glimpse into the world of a truck driver. They are some of the hardest working
men and women I have ever known.
