Produktbeschreibung
On a clear spring morning, Bryson Bender, M.D. stood in a parking lot watching his medical office and Ob/Gyn practice go up in smoke and flames. Frustration, health problems and a bullet leave him physically and emotionally burned-out. Fascinated with a possible new life-without middle of the night baby deliveries-he turns his passions toward the highway. Bryson's new goal-to see the heartland of America and to eat the perfect chicken fried steak. Teamed with a retired farmer and a shiny blue eighteen wheeler, they set out like babes in the woods only to find that their first cargo might be their last. Tricked, lied to, attacked, hijacked and tormented to exhaustion, they see the USA like no one else would ever want to.
Autorenporträt
After thirty years of medical practice-delivering more than seven thousand babies-and raising five children with his wife, Paula, Doctor Dahl now splits his time between their homes in the Arizona desert and the mountain peaks of Utah. Their most recent travels took them to central Europe, where for over a year they managed the medical care of the Latter-day Saints missionaries and researched the health care systems in such fascinating countries as Poland, Romania, Moldova, and Serbia. These European adventures added to Dr. Dahl's experiences of living on the tiny islands of the Pacific, his Vietnam experience on a navy hospital ship, and time spent in a struggling Liberian hospital. His previous fascination with ranching, flying, scuba diving, sailing, and serving his country as a major in the US Army all add credence and a realistic twist to his stories. The best days of his life are those spent with his wife and family, especially with their children and grandchildren. With his sixth novel penned, and another taking shape, he and Paula will stay put in the United States for a while to watch the grandkids grow.
