My Wild 1970 Ride

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. "This book is Russell Beck saying yes to every crazy idea that came his way in 1970." — Malaika I was twenty-one, broke, and itching to escape the gray slush of an Indiana winter. The Vietnam draft had been breathing down my neck for years when a lucky twist of fate set me free. What I wanted next was simple: adventure. What followed was a year I still can't quite believe happened. What's inside: - A cross-country road trip fueled by canned sardines and optimism (adventure) - Hilarious and messy stories that will keep you on the edge of your seat (funny) - Lessons in taking risks and living life to the fullest (inspiring) - A reminder that sometimes saying yes can lead to the most incredible experiences (motivating) What readers are saying: "Hitchhiking to Mardi Gras, blacking out on cheap wine, and working a tugboat during an oil fire — how did he survive all that?" — Malaika "You get the funny, the messy, and the 'what was I thinking?' all rolled together. If you like stories that feel like a road trip with a slightly reckless friend, this book is such a fun ride." — Malaika "This book was an absolute thrill — captivating, adventurous, and full of heart." — Ayesha This is Book 3 in the How My Life Worked series — but it stands completely on its own. If you've ever said yes when you probably should have said no, you'll feel right at home. Duration - 1h 57m. Author - Russell A Beck. Narrator - Digital Voice Morgan G.
