Chicken Fried Steak - Paperback

by Steven Dahl (Author)

On a clear spring morning, Bryson Bender, M.D. stood in a parking lot watching his medical office and Ob/Gyn practice go up in smoke and flames. Frustration, health problems and a bullet leave him physically and emotionally burned-out. Fascinated with a possible new life-without middle of the night baby deliveries-he turns his passions toward the highway. Bryson's new goal-to see the heartland of America and to eat the perfect chicken fried steak. Teamed with a retired farmer and a shiny blue eighteen wheeler, they set out like babes in the woods only to find that their first cargo might be their last. Tricked, lied to, attacked, hijacked and tormented to exhaustion, they see the USA like no one else would ever want to.

Author Biography

After thirty years of medical practice, Steven I. Dahl now splits his time between homes in the Arizona desert and the mountain peaks of Utah. His most recent travels took him to central Europe, where he managed the medical care of the Latter-Day Saints missionaries. These European adventures added to his experiences of living on the tiny islands of the Pacific, his Viet Nam experience on a navy hospital ship, and time spent in a struggling Liberian hospital. His previous fascination with ranching, flying, scuba diving, sailing, and his experience serving his country as a major in the US Army all add credence and a realistic twist to his stories.
