This review is from: Marriage in the Long Run: A Collection of Articles for Families of Professional Drivers (Paperback)

I am really not a book reader, but this one caught my eye. I am engaged to an over the road truck driver and when I see the 20 tail lights out the driveway I am left with 3 Shar Pei dogs, a house to keep organized, bills to tend to, laundy, dishes and a full time out of home job. You ladies know what I am going though. I found myself reading more and more of the articles laughing at some of the insert, because they are so true! This truely is an awesome book that will get you thinking about different things in the relationship. Also it kinda gives me a taste to what to expect in the future. I read that I am not alone and these are common feelings other truckers wife go though. I also am learning a few things from other mistake from the book. I found it gave me a variety of emotions to each insert and each chapter. I can't wait for the next book to come out. This is a really good book, comming from a person who rarly finds book that keep my instrest. It really is a book for someone involved with a long distance relationship <3

~Love your man who trucks over the road.. If you are not strong enough to love him, then who is <3
