Book Description
The idea for this story came out of a viral Instagram Reel I made about how moms are often so consumed with the needs of their families that they have no space to even think their own thoughts anymore. The video was an encouragement to husbands to step up and share in more of the household work, and to see themselves as guardians of their wife’s personhood. I had reels that had a few thousand views, this video went to 4 million views in under 2 weeks. The responses were overwhelming. It was a video addressed to men, but it resonated with literally millions of women. I got comments like, “My marriage wouldn't have ended if my husband done this.” “I’m crying because you said what I’ve been feeling so long but never found words to say.” “How can I talk to my husband about this?” There is much more to say on the topic than can even be said in a book let alone a 1minute Instagram video. The purpose of this story is to help people start having the conversation. That has to be the first step. It was heartbreakingly clear that there is an aloneness that many women feel but have no place to start from to address it. That is why I wrote this story. It is for husbands and wives to read together to start having this conversation and create a shift towards healing and balance in their marriage. there are things on both sides of the table that are hard to say, and extremely hard to hear. While it was women who commented on the reel, this story is written by a man and so also addresses the heart of men who feel alone inside their marriage. My hope is that by hearing it through the lives of David and Janie, it will be easier to hear without being offending or getting defensive. My hope is that this book will be a gateway towards empathy.

Book Description
AMERICAN VACATION challenges you to leave behind your familiar background and carries you 12,000 miles into the Wild West. It trades your usual city streets for 170 miles of hiking through 7 types of natural landmarks. You will climb from 260 feet below sea level up to 14,000 feet of altitude. Starting in The Land of Lincoln, you will experience a 45-day tour across 19 states at times asking yourself whether you have left the earth and landed on a different planet. You will ride along to discover 33 national, state, and tribal parks and corners of paradise hidden deep within the North American landscape. You will laugh and empathize with Raluca whenever she has to overcome her fears and limits, like climbing down rugged rocks in Spooky Gulch or reaching the summit of Mount White. As a vivid slice of Raluca’s travel experience, this book stands witness to a small fraction of this world's flawless beauty, which has taken hundreds of millions of years to perfect. American Vacation. 12,000 Miles Into the Wild West is Raluca Barbu's fifth book, the first four having been published in her home country, Romania. It is a travel book about the most iconic Western landmarks, seen through the eyes of a Romanian writer. It is in many respects one-of-a-kind because no other Romanian author has traveled and written about the American West. It provides a foreign writer’s take on the American landscape and tourism through the eyes of a former citizen of a communist country. It is a homage given both to the beauty of the American outdoors and to the way nature is respected and preserved by the authorities and visitors. What makes American Vacation special is the travel narrative that Raluca has brought back as a literary genre. In a world of Google reviews, travel blogs, and vacation guides she manages to shine a light on the lost art of travel memoirs. Praise for American Vacation. 12,000 Miles Into the Wild West "I thoroughly enjoyed American Vacation -- from destination to destination, and cover to cover. Interesting and informative in a framework of armchair travel, the book is so much more. It provides the reader, at times, an opportunity to reflect about the amazing landscapes, large and small, that are America, and about us, as their caretakers. It is insightful, funny, charming -- and a tribute to Nature and the tourists and park rangers who care about wild places. When I'd finished the last page and closed the cover, I couldn't help but smile...feeling quite positive and hopeful! Perfect gift book all around." Donna Blomquist (LaSalle Public Library, IL) "This read is a Mobil Travel Guide, and a Travels With Charley: In Search of America (John Steinbeck) without the dog, in one book. If you are going on a trip in America to the West and Pacific Coast it is a must read. If you are staying home it is also a must read for the positive message. The Author sees America's parks as rich in beauty - good enough to eat and kind travelers along the way gladly share the feast. This Book belongs in your Beach Bag or Hiking Backpack for a delightful educational summer read." Lynn Sanders "This book was a wonderful read! I was expecting it to be a travel book of experiences and to my delight it was so much more. As I was reading I was seeing the beauty through her eyes and even though I have been to many of those places it was great having her perspective and outlook. I felt like I was right there with her hiking and exploring all the beauty that our great western states have to offer. Time to put on my hiking boots and go explore some more. Great book." Evan Czarnik "American Vacation is an epic journey wrapped in a love story! Told from a non-American perspective, this book provides unique insights and sheer delight in the American experience. Each chapter takes you on an adventure capturing the joy and awe of new discoveries. I thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful use of language and whimsical animal encounters along the way. American Vacation will leave you eager to plan your own trip across the vast, amazing, United States of America. Grab your cup of coffee, and get ready to take off into the great American West!"
