AMERICANA EVERMORE
A Novel of America, Family, and the Dreams We Carry
Daniel Whitaker gave up on his dream eleven years ago. He just never noticed the exact day it happened.
At thirty-eight, he's stuck in a job that pays the mortgage and says nothing about who he is. Then his mother finds an old photograph - his grandfather, beaming beside a 1958 blue Chevrolet, a car that's been rusting in a barn for twenty years. Something in that photograph asks Daniel a question he's spent a decade avoiding: when was the last time you were happy?
What follows is a six-week, six-thousand-mile road trip across America - Daniel and his seventeen-year-old daughter, Emma, in a restored Chevrolet, a camera he hasn't picked up in years, and no real plan beyond looking closely at the country and the people in it. Along the way they meet a farmer holding onto land that no longer makes financial sense to keep, an immigrant mechanic who says you never finish arriving in America, a veteran learning how to sit still, and a couple fifty-seven years into a marriage built on nothing fancier than choosing each other, again and again.
Americana Evermore is a father-daughter road trip story and a multigenerational family saga about second chances, small-town America, and the particular American habit of trying again - even when the odds don't obviously favor you. Warm, hopeful, and quietly moving, it's a novel for anyone who has ever wondered if it's too late to start over.
Perfect for readers of family drama, contemporary literary fiction, and stories about self-discovery, home, and starting over in midlife.
