New York: W.W. Norton, 2003
This book was written in the middle of the night, in the shadow of the 2001 terrorist attacks, in a drafty house with my pregnant, sleeping bride upstairs. Along with the insomnia came the struggle to write something about myself and my family. This was my toughest assignment. My editor said to give it all to her and so the original manuscript was thick with flashbacks to my divorce, being a long-distance father, and the struggle to remain relevant to my children. To me, this is a book about family, with the road as metaphor. My editor, Amy Cherry, wisely helped me take a lot of those emotions and leave them between the lines of the highway. I'm happy with this book.
