Inhalt:

"You will not be disappointed by this gal's story!" -Wes Clark, coauthor of Lost Burbank "...unusual and honest memoir." -Harrod Blank, independent filmmaker, author of Art Cars, the Artists, the Obsession, the Craft "...hilarious, heartbreaking, and, yes, even a little embarrassing." -Carol Lynch Williams, author of the award-winning novel The Chosen One Imagine life is like a sitcom starring your eccentric, single father who can never get enough attention. His physical appearance turns people's heads. He wears an obvious toupee and walks around the house naked. He has a handlebar mustache and sideburns dyed jet black, and he shows off his tanned, muscular physique by leaving his shirt unbuttoned down to his navel wherever he goes. His appearance and his off-colored jokes draw attention, but his van is the real embarrassment. This van is unlike anything you've ever seen. It's covered in brass ornaments and silver dollars, and it shines like gold, attracting stares and even media coverage. Even Vegas casinos covet having it parked at their entrances for patrons to ogle. Tracy shares what it was like being raised by her ostentatious but loving father. Left unsupervised to fend for herself in a series of life-threatening situations, Tracy finds herself on a wild ride down a road you would never expect.
