Book Description

September 26, 2006
Dumped, dejected, and dumbfounded, Nick suddenly found himself without a compass or a clue. Giving Laura up was the last thing Nick wanted, but he had to leave, set himself ablaze, and rise up again. He set off to explore America on the road, keeping journals and writing letters he thought no one would ever read... An emotional rollercoaster simulated by viewing the world and sharing the pain, sacrifice, and triumphs of Nick Anthony. In an attempt to save himself, Nick battles his instincts, lets go of everything he knows to be true, and strives to make sense out of life in order to find himself and a way back to the love of his life. The story is told through letters and pictures Nick sends Laura, his lost love and is supplemented with his private transcribed audio and written journal entries. Along the way he re-establishes old relationships with family and friends, photographs the spectacular countryside and meets interesting people and situations-learning about life along the way. He finally returns home after months for one last chance at love...

More About the Author

Greetings all,

As some of you may or might not know breast cancer has affected someone who directly and profoundly changed who I am, what I'm doing, and where I hope to go. Her name was Lisa and she got breast cancer when she was 28 years old.

For my part I am donating all royalties from the purchase of my book, The Road Letters, during the month of October.

The book can be purchased on here on Amazon or easily at any online bookseller, or ordered at any bookstores.

The The Road Letters is inspirational. The story has made people laugh and cry, inspired others to go out on their own journeys, and has even inspired some to write their own books... With each reader there is a chance at inspiration, a chance of making a difference in someone's life, a chance that someone who was inspired will go out and change the world...

If you've already bought a book for yourself you could buy them to give away as presents or give it to someone who needs a little inspiration, a good laugh or cry--it's a fast read that you won't soon forget...


The goal is not only to raise money, but also to spread awareness--MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

Thanks,
Phil

5.0 out of 5 stars Heartwarming!, October 12, 2006
By 
M. O'Shea "mars125" (Mohegan Lake, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Road Letters (Paperback)
An amazing story about love, life and loss. Ribaudo captures the true meaning of life and the secret to pure happiness - to love yourself and to enjoy the journey, no matter where it takes you...

I was moved to tears - both of sadness and of joy. It was great to experience Nick's journey with him - I felt like I had actually been in the passenger seat of his Nissan 240.

I would definitely read this again - AND try some of the recipes!

5.0 out of 5 stars Escaping our boundries with laughs and tears, January 16, 2007
This review is from: The Road Letters (Paperback)
An extremely easy read. Motivating to search our inner self and find the desire and will to explore all that life and this great country has to offer. A book that will be very difficult to put down and will cause pain in the side from laughing so much as well as blood shot eyes from the tears that flow. The author opens himself up to feelings and emotions that we have all experienced in our lives and does it in a humorous and loving way. Strongly suggest reading this book and enjoying the delicious recipes from this professional chef.
