Truck: a Love Story by Michael Perry
This was our first book for book group this year. It kicked off our theme of Nonfiction titles.
I really enjoyed it. It reads like a novel and has great descriptions.
It tells the story of the year Michael Perry spent restoring an old truck and also how he fell in love.
