How Not to Vanagon: A Memoir of Late-Life Love, Van Life Adventures, and Lessons on the Road

What if your greatest adventure—and your most complicated love story—began when you thought life had already settled?

In How Not to Vanagon, a candid and humorous memoir, one woman navigates the winding roads of late-life love, unexpected companionship, and the messy beauty of starting over.

At seventy-seven, she wasn't looking for romance—especially not with a younger man who showed up in her life like an unexpected detour. But when an old writing buddy reappears after years of silence, their rekindled friendship takes an unexpected turn.

Told with sharp wit, raw honesty, and tender reflections, this is more than a story about van life or road trips—it's about the lessons we learn when we think we've learned it all. From the rugged landscapes of British Columbia to the inner terrains of love, loss, and self-discovery, How Not to Vanagon explores what happens when you throw caution (and maybe common sense) to the wind.

Perfect for fans of memoirs that blend humor, heartache, and hope, this book is for anyone who believes life's most profound journeys often happen off the beaten path.

If you've ever wondered whether it's too late for adventure—or for love—this story will prove it's not.
