THE ADVENTURE ARCHIVE
- Queen of the Road
- A Memoir by Doreen Orion
A “Long Island princess” and her wilderness-loving husband make an odd pair on the open road. But in this offbeat romantic memoir, Doreen Orion takes to the highways in a converted bus for a whole year – and returns with a stronger marriage and a renewed sense of herself.
