Women's Journeys on the Open Road
Edited by Jaimie Hall and Alice Zyetz
Fifty-two women answer the question: What is it like to be a female nomad on the open
road, leaving family, community, and possessions to head into the unknown in an RV? This
anthology features the writings of women of varied backgrounds, many living full-time in
their RVs, ranging in age from 14-85. They take a humorous look at situations unique to
the RVing lifestyle: living in a small box on wheels, maneuvering a 38-foot RV, or

friends, they also cope with life's issues—breast cancer, divorce, loss of a child.
