About this audiobook
Leslie White knew she wanted more out of life - She found it in an unlikely place.
Devastated from the loss of both parents to cancer nine months apart, Leslie vowed to change her life. She bought the neighbor's old motorhome, found a job as a traveling histologist, and hit the road.
But she found she could not trust the one person she was still holding onto.
Ride along for the sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes hilarious tale of traveling and working across America, and Alaska, and back. Leslie drove through depression and grief, to the other side - to acceptance, peace, and forgiveness.
The memoir, Three Years A Traveler, is a vivid, humorous, and moving recount of betrayal, grief recovery, and the jagged journey back to healing and happiness.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5As a retired nurse with my own history of health scares and bereavement, I'm pretty familiar with feelings of care fatigue... literally, I couldn't give a f*** about others' big C stories. However, I am passionate about making the most of life and travelling, and I spend a lot of time in RV's, so I gave the author and the book a chance. I'm glad I did. Unexpectedly, she has me in the palm of her hand. For her engaging tone and truths, at times funny and sad, but the way she presents those truths, not as just another victim but clearly a wonderful human being who has been brave in expressing her authentic self on the page with a good story to share. I got a lot out of this book. It may even have removed a layer or two of cynicism so that maybe I could care more. Thank you for writing it. You should definitely write and narrate some more.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Fun story written with good humor. Inspiring and motivating to live life to the fullest. I like Leslie's witty take on situations.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The content and the reader were excellent. One of very few audiobooks that I couldn't "put down". This would make a great movie. Do it.
