Book Description
Racing home to share news of a long awaited book deal, Aaron Abrams unexpectedly finds his wife and beloved brother TOGETHER. Tossing a few mentionables into the car, along with his golden retriever, Churchill, his now only trustworthy lifelong companion, Aaron embarks on an odyssey like no other. With his own music as a backdrop, while guzzling his favorite Newman's Own Virgin Lemonade, Aaron begins in Youngstown, Ohio, travels interstate 80 in Pennslyvania, and continues into Gettysburg, Pa., Boston Ma., Roswell, NM., to name a few, ultimately ending his road trip in scenic Niagara Falls. Along the way, he continues to embrace each moment, every situation, all relationships and brief encounters. Never losing his zest for life, Aaron stays positive, upbeat and open for adventures, not letting his ex-wife-to-be interfere with his new found freedom, while at the same time rediscovering and recreating bonds that will never be broken. The game of Jinx has never gotten so much attention; what that means the reader is soon to discover.
My thoughts
Catching your wife in a compromising position with your brother in your swimming pool when coming home with great news to share can certainly destroy a guy. This is how “No Mad” by Sam Moffie begins. I almost did not want to continue, but this was just the preface so I did. And I glad that I did. The story follows Aaron Abrams across the country to interview people from his college for his latest book “Yearbook”. At moments it is funny, sometimes cynical and sometimes serious. There are parts that I could have done without, but overall this road trip story was a delight to read.
