Stephanie Bernhagen's Review of
RV Traveling Tales: Women’s
Journeys On The Open Road
edited by Jaimie Hall and Alice Zyetz
Do you ever feel isolated from women friends? Wouldn’t
it be nice to share your triumphs and challenges on the road with other
women? RV Traveling Tales: Women’s Journeys On The Open Road
is going to make you feel like you are enjoying a cappuccino around a
campfire with your women friends who understand your deepest emotions. Here
is just a sampling of the many stories shared by RVing women in this book:
What is Full-timing?
Look at the change from City Girl to Full-timer with Cathi; share the struggle of giving up your things with Terry; survive a
disastrous first day on the road with Cindy; laugh and say, “that’s me” as
Nicky shares her addiction; and learn about culture and community on the
road from Alice.
Life on the Road
Join Verna in her rescues of her 83-year-old
full-timing Mom and step-dad; take a walk with Janice, whose ride doesn’t
show up; face the realization that your RV won’t go under the bridge in
front of you with Mary; learn what it is like to be a full-timing teen from
Samantha; relive getting stuck with Judy and being sick in Mexico with
Nancy; and be in awe of the couple who was on the road for 60 years with
Ann.
Uniquely Women
Help a friend celebrate Hannukah with DeAnna; find
Donna’s first born with her; share Janet’s grief as full-timing helps her
heal from the loss of her daughter; and take a trip down the path of
self-discovery with Mary.
Encounters
Touch a whale with Donna; overcome a fear of her
neighbor with Myrna; become a nudist for a day with Joei; and come face to
face with a bear with Michele.
Relationships
Struggle with Susan to help her husband back-up the motorhome; learn to live with your spouse 24/7 with
Lainie; and hang up the
keys following a divorce with Llorene.
Going Your Own Way
Join Betty, Barbara and Donna as they cope with being
widowed and single on the road; travel with Carol, her cat, guard dog and
two horses; and survive a broken foot with Joei.
Heart Places
Experience the pull to San Miguel de Allende with DeAnna; paddle the mighty Yukon River with
Sharlene; travel to Newfoundland
with Stephanie; and soak in Tecopa Hot Springs with Sally.
The Last Word
Jaimie’s hike to the top of Long’s Peak epitomizes the
journeys we all make in our lives.
I never expected to find such a close companion in a book, but this book
is one I will hold near and dear.
