Have you ever wanted to quit your job, jump in the car with the person you love the most, and see what’s around the next bend in the road? I did. My wife and I were crazy enough to quit good jobs, pack our suitcases and head for the open road. We took two months and drove through thirty states, visited more than a dozen national parks, and put thirteen thousand miles of twisting country roads under our wheels. We found once again that the journey is greater than the destination. There’s room in the backseat. We’d love for you to come along with us on our lap around America.

Find out what it's really like to cross 1,400 miles of the Alaskan Highway and travel some of the loneliest and most spectacular parts of America and Canada, all without leaving the comfort of your easy chair.

Valentines Day weekend, 1979… …they were in love. But her mother forbade it. The boy next door’s name was Shawn. He was older and just a friend. But time changed that and they fell in love. A deep, once in a lifetime love, that wasn’t allowed. They were too young. Dawn did as she was told. Shawn kissed her tear stained face goodbye, apparently forever. Time didn’t forget these two and fate has a way of knowing when past wrongs need to be undone. Twenty-seven years later, Shawn stopped in for a bite at an old haunt for the first time in decades. It was her. He’d never forgotten those eyes. She didn’t recognize him. The next moments of the story will warm your heart and it’s only the beginning. You’ll adore this True Life telling of an amazing love story, from both Dawn and Shawn’s points of view. Get it now. Note: This is a reworked combination of Feels Like the First Time: A True Love Story and the follow up Both Sides Now: A True Love Story, with even more wonderful details and dozens of pictures.
