The Woodie Chronicles: My Journey Through America on the Road to Recovery in a 1949 Woodie Wagon Raymer Gregory

Greg Phoenix has a problem. His drinking cost him his friends. Has landed him in jail. And now the angry Judge Hooton wants to throw the book at him. Facing serious prison time, boot camp or a unique community service job, Phoenix chooses community service, thinking it will be a breeze. But the universe has a different plan. Through a chain reaction of events, Phoenix lands a 1949 Woodie Wagon, and spends several weeks travelling from Nederland, Colorado to Key West, Florida fulfilling his community service obligation, facing danger and peril at almost every turn. Along the way, he not only finds his sobriety, develops an appreciation for old cars, drive in movie theaters and vintage DC-3 airplanes, but begins his spiritual journey as well. While life is bittersweet, Phoenix learns, his second chance in life gives him the courage and desire to go on.
