The road trip has always held a place in America’s literary imagination. But while most road-trip writing has centered on the male experience, women also travel the highway and for all of the same reasons men do: broken hearts, restless spirits, and lust for adventure. The latest in the Adventura series from Seal Press, this collection of stories fills the void in women’s road literature, giving a powerful but nuanced view of what happens when women hit the highway. In it are tales of real-life road-trippers driving, hitching, riding Harleys, and maneuvering beat-up wrecks — and the quirky people and experiences they encounter along the way.
