About Wanderlush

Product Description When David, a self-proclaimed anxiety-ridden introvert, convinces himself he's dying of cancer, he invites his delightfully unpredictable, Xanax-popping, chardonnay-swilling mother on a series of international good-bye vacations. By doing so, he unwittingly opens a Pandora's Box of hilarious and humiliating events that will test just how far they are willing to go to get a laugh. David knows the trips will be anything but boring because he and his mom have been causing a scene for as long as he can remember. He describes her as a cross between Bea Arthur and Karen Walker from Will and Grace, and she is notorious for bending the rules. But nothing can prepare him for escapades that include digging his mom out of a rain gutter in Costa Rica and being dragged across the Arabian Desert by a psychotic camel named Forrest Hump. As the vacations unfold, David discovers that although he and his mom are having the time of their life, she is ready to share a secret that will change everything. Review 3.5 stars - "...the point of this book is not to probe the deeper mysteries of existence, but rather to display the back and forth dynamics of a family that both loves and loathes itself. This tactic is occasionally quite rewarding..." -  IndieReader "May cause uncontrollable laughter in the middle of a quiet plane ride." - Boston Spirit Magazine "I love a good story and Wanderlush delivers many. Reading the book feels as if you're sitting at the family table with Robert.." - Options Rhode Island "Definitely the funniest book I've read this year." - Generationgbooks From the Author Wanderlush was a 10-year book in the making. I had been keeping travel notes since our first trip, and in early 2013 (after much encouragement from friends) I decided to commit to writing the book. It was far more difficult than I assumed but I had a blast writing it. Recounting all of the wonderful experiences, and the humiliating ones as well, was so much fun. I consider Wanderlush to be a gift to my mom. She's an amazing person and I wanted to share her with the world. I hope you enjoy.
