Seller's Description:
Very good in very good dust jacket. Glossy jacket, former owner name inside and bookstamp inside. Sewn binding. Cloth over boards. With dust jacket. 304 p. Audience: General/trade. Hilarious and heartfelt, Truck: A Love Story is the tale of a man struggling to grow his own garden, fix his old pickup, and resurrect a love life permanently impaired by Neil Diamond. In the process, he sets his hair on fire, is attacked by wild turkeys, and proposes marriage to a woman in New Orleans. The result is a surprisingly tender testament to love. Part Bill Bryson, part Anne Lamott, with a skim of Larry the Cable Guy and Walt Whitman creeping around the edges. Lincoln Journal Star
What a find this book is! While restoring a favorite old truck, Michael Perry meets the woman who will become his wife. How lucky we are that he shared his experiences with both of these loves with us. This book will not disappoint. As much a pleasure to read as his others. Just wish that there were more, because the writing is so superior.

Words that mean something.
Michael Perry takes the reader on a journey through thoughts and occurrences of a year in his shoes. He muses small-town living, trying to garden, the resurrection of his old truck, and the joys and nuances of growing in love with a woman and her daughter. Every word means something, even if the format is a curious stream-of-consciousness that can be confusing and altogether amusing. It's truthful and heartfelt the whole way through.
