40 West: Two Brothers Take the Trip to Mark a Lifetime

By Bruce C. Bryan

40 West: Two Brothers on the Trip to Mark a Lifetime is more than a collection of essays logging an American family's path through the past century. It's more than a recollection of a middle class childhood and growing up in the 1960s, '70s, and
'80s. This book goes beyond the classic strong person battling cancer story. 40 West: Two Brothers on the Trip to Mark a Lifetime is the story of getting to here from there. Bruce Bryan and his older brother Bon take an old Prius from Virginia to
Arizona in homage to their late father who was diagnosed with a glioblastoma as a mid-80s widower and far-outlived the odds. It was a journey Hugh Bryan knew well and took twice a year from the mid 1980s until just a few years ago. Like any journey, this book will leave the reader laughing, crying, wondering, and most of all thinking. While following in the footsteps of a warrior, Bruce and Bon learn a lot - about their family, the world around them, each other, and most of all themselves. This unusual approach of using the road trip to tell a series of interwoven stories works as you track with these two brothers on their winter drive along one of the United States' most traveled interstate highways. It was so much more than 2,300 miles. You'll enjoy the ride with every turn of the page.
