Book description
The New York Times bestselling author of They Knew navigates a changing America as she and her family embark on a series of road trips to see the country, in a book that is part memoir, part history, and wholly unique. It's March 2020. Sarah Kendzior, who had been covering the fall of US democracy for the better part of the decade, felt completely unprepared when apocalyptic circumstances arrived at her doorstep. As the pandemic descended across the United States, Kendzior wondered how she might teach her young children about the country they were born and raised in: she wanted them to learn it's history before it transformed before their very eyes. And that's when the Kendziors hit the road. In The Last American Road Trip, Kendzior takes her husband and children to Mark Twain's home in Missouri, down the famous Route 66, to Arizona's Grand Canyon, and more in an attempt to prove that though the nation is rapidly changing, some of its features are timeless. As Kendzior reminisces about the many road trips she took during her college years, she realises she has slowly watched the landscape of the United States-physical, environmental, social, political-change through her car window. Part memoir, part political history, The Last American Road Trip is one mother's promise to her children that their country will be there for them in the future-even though at times she struggles to believe it herself.
