Truck

"A touching and very funny account. . . . Thoroughly engaging." - New York Times

Hilarious and heartfelt, Truck: A Love Story is the tale of a man struggling to grow his own garden, fix his old pickup, and resurrect a love life permanently impaired by Neil Diamond. In the process, he sets his hair on fire, is attacked by wild turkeys, and proposes marriage to a woman in New Orleans. The result is a surprisingly tender testament to love.

"Perry takes each moment, peeling it, seasoning it with rich language, and then serving it to us piping hot and fresh." -- Chicago Tribune's "Books"
