Synopsis

Losing her TV news career and her home in the same year wasn’t on Casey Roman’s 2018 Bingo card. Neither was sleeping in Walmart parking lots and nearly deciding to end her own life. But the world is full of blind curves, and salvation comes in unusual forms, like a cargo van. What began as a three-week road trip to erase her “news lady” image became a 12,000-mile solo journey that saved Casey’s life.Looking Up is a riches-to-rags-to-rebellion memoir that reads like a love letter to small-town America. Hop in the passenger’s seat and ride along for encounters that are sometimes scary and often hilarious, from rapping in the “Murder Capital of the US” to luring a moose with a bag of bread in Maine. For anyone looking for direction who feels like they’re running on empty, Casey Roman’s story is a reminder to keep driving toward the horizon, no matter what. Hope is out there.

Excellent Read! As an avid reader I am very particular about how I spend my time absorbed in a story. I was absolutely in love with this one after a few pages.

Goodreads review by Trista

Like talking to an old friend! We have the paperback of Casey Roman’s debut book but when the bridge between Leland and Wilmington closed and doubled my commute time I brought Casey to the car! She’s real. She’s comedic, and she spares no detail. As long as the traffic stays backed up I’ll play this......more
