O knihe

Strapped into an American Dream captures America, whirling readers along a 35,000-mile trek through the 48 contiguous states in a rebuilt RV.

Glenn Maynard brings this journey to all armchair travelers who will love the adrenaline
rush. One week after their wedding, Glenn and his wife quit their jobs, sold their cars, and set
out to find America. This book details how they were able to realize this dream, and then introduces the reader to the unique people they met and the places they visited along the path.

Travel with them through 23 National Parks, Las Vegas, Mardi Gras, and dusty ghost towns. Feel the rushing wind of tornadoes and the rocking of an earthquake. Sleep on roadsides and in truck
stops, shifting from state to state, risking danger in favor of a limited bank account.

It is the dream of many Americans, in all walks of life, to travel the
country, but few realize this dream. Now they may do so vicariously in the reading of these adventures. Laugh along the way. Share the terror, sorrow, and humor -- strapped into an American dream.

Glenn Maynard has a Bachelor of Arts degree in English from the University of Connecticut, and a degree in Communications.
After spending 4 years living in Denver, Colorado, he returned home to
Connecticut and now resides in Wethersfield. He has a 9 year-old son named
Andrew. He was a travel correspondent for three newspapers while traveling
through the United States, Canada and Mexico during his one-year journey. He had a total of twenty newspaper articles published. His story was captured on the evening newscast upon his return.
