No tags None No current Talk conversations about this book. Thank you NetGalley and Amazon Original Stories for the chance to read and review this. Honestly, it was just okay. While Greer's mom is fascinating, I wonder if he really was able to describe her. The road trip felt dry at times and he wasn't able to make it seem like that intense an experience even when it probably was. However, I did just find int that "Peter, Paul and Mary" was a band. I always thought it was just Britney. no reviews | add a review

Review of the Amazon Original Stories audiobook (April 16, 2024) released simultaneously with the Audible Originals audiobook.
This is a short memoir about a road trip from when the author travelled home to San Francisco from a mentoring job in Kansas and his mother asked to join him on the journey. Greer arranges for stays in out of the way kitschy tourist places where they sleep in anything from tents to teepees. Along the way they visit sites such as the Grand Canyon. Greer's mother is up for all of it including indulging her son's penchant for occasionally wearing a fried egg costume. Overall a lovely tale of mother and son bonding.
The Kindle edition includes several selfie photos taken along the journey.
