Growing up in Maine, alone in the backseat of my parents' car, I dreamed of replicating my idyllic childhood when I was older with a family of my own. But, a revolving door of Craigslist roommates and Tinder/Bumble dates following my divorce at age 35 resulted in my adult life turning out to be the opposite of what I expected, manifested by the fact that I still find myself alone in the backseat. Faced with the challenge of making my mortgage payments after my husband left, I posted an ad to rent out my living room. Over the past eight years, I have shared my one bedroom apartment with 71 people from sixteen countries, sometimes four at a time! Thanks to my resourcefulness and perseverance, I avoided financial ruin and made friends from all over the world. Although I have experienced the lows of loneliness and divorce, I am grateful for the many times in my life I have felt like the luckiest girl in the world. Cross cultural experiences living with wonderful families in four different countries and exciting international love affairs have often made my life feel like a movie.

There is a certain magic that comes from falling asleep in the backseat and waking up far away. Like fairies, we were transported to a new world and when that world ended a short time later, we found another one to take its place. When we saw the familiar orange and white U-Haul trailer parked outside our house, we knew it was time to leave. Like an echo of times past, all five of us would jam into the car--our familial womb--along with our bewildered pets, awaiting the next stop. Riding in the Backseat with my Brother takes readers through a journey beginning in the 1950s, steered by a dad who had wanderlust, and a nervous mother who gave her third child away following a nervous breakdown after his birth. Ourlineage of distant relatives some called gypsies, wanderers, or Irish Travelers, had not skipped this generation altogether. As we bounced across the country, sucking up the sounds, smells, and sights of new places, the events along the way formed us, making imprints in our hearts and minds forever.

BACKSEAT INKLINGS...there's never been another journal like it!An Uber Driver named Donald has driven over 2 thousand trips in and around the great city of St. Louis, Missouri. Many riders being residents, partiers doing the right thing by not drinking and driving, vacationers enjoying the astounding Gateway Arch, the terrific restaurants, and Forest Park (the largest urban park in the country), people just going to and from work, patients and their families here for medical treatment at one of the excellent healthcare institutions, students attending universities the likes of St. Louis University, Washington University, Logan Chiropractic, Maryville University among many others, and of course many are huge Cardinal Baseball fans and Blues Hockey fans! Luckily, one day Don picked up a young man and his service dog Garrett, a handsome Yellow Labrador Retriever. While enjoying a friendly conversation, this rider shared how he was blinded by a drunk driver in the other car when he was just 18 years old. He told Don how the lyric, "Negativity Don't Pull You Through" in the Bob Dylan song "Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues", was the positive force that kept him from giving up on life.Right after safely delivering this inspirational young man to his destination, Don decided to ask his riders, "What's been the most positive force in your life?" Intrigued by the question, riders took the challenge seriously ... thinking hard before jotting down their answers.This one of a kind journal called "Backseat Inklings" has given a diverse group of individuals from 37 different countries, 37 of our United States, plus one from Puerto Rico the opportunity to share what their "Positive Force" has been. Riders have jotted down hundreds of fascinating personal stories, some about overcoming adversity, the "Mantra" they've chosen to live by, a major life altering event, the loving words of wisdom from a grandparent, or the way a special someone has made life simply amazing!Most certainly Backseat Inklings includes an inspirational message for each and every reader!
