Overview

"A cross country road trip from St. Louis to Los Angeles in 1976 and a trip in reverse decades later led Denise Billings to ponder the life in between. Growing up in St. Louis in the 1950s and 1960s, she enjoyed her childhood unaware that racism colored her world. It manifested in subtle ways that weren't truly recognized until years later. ""Road Trip"" is a look back on the drama, disasters, and decisions that she survived during her lifetime. This memoir is an intensely personal and candid account of youthful high jinks, drug use, friendship, family, multiple marriages, murder, loss, and joy. Denise confronts her past with forgiveness, shades of enlightenment, and a side-eyed humor that makes an absorbing story for readers from all backgrounds. In her authentic voice, Denise Billings reaches deep into the heart of a young girl to find herself."
