San Diego, CA, July 04, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Gretchen Breuner pulled her three elementary-aged kids out of school, put them in a used RV, and then drove 10,079 miles throughout the U.S. In three months they crossed 19 states and saw more than 50 historical and national landmarks, effectively turning the country into their classroom.

In her new book, “The RoadScholarz: Lessons from the Scenic Route,” Breuner shares some of life’s greatest lessons she learned while crisscrossing the country as a solo-parent. With humor, brevity and a voice of authentic vulnerability, her story is relatable to just about any parent. The book is substantive yet easy to read.

“The trip was so much fun,” Breuner said. “I just felt there were some great stories to share and that others—especially parents— would find the stories enjoyable and relatable.”

One of the best features of the book is that it gives both moms and dads ideas about how to parent differently, how to think more creatively and describes one sure-fire way to make life more fun for everyone.

"After reading Gretchen's book, I could picture the adventure I'd take with my own kids, very inspiring," said David Bach, New York Times Bestselling author of "Smart Women Finish Rich" series.

About “Lessons from the Scenic Route”
“Lessons from the Scenic Route” is a perfect afternoon read, a book that is quick and easy to pick up and put down while waiting for kids or at doctor’s appointment.

Breuner’s story is about the everyday mom doing something that turned out to be extraordinary. Her story leaves you with the inspiration to try something new and different, to think creatively and to show your kids how to do the same.

The reader is quickly hooked by her tales from the road, the adventures (and mishaps) that the travelers faced, and are left with ideas on how to handle many of life’s challenges. Not only does one learn about Breuner’s journey and discoveries but, more importantly, they learn about themselves.

“You did a wonderful job encapsulating wise and thought-provoking ideas in entertaining vignettes that were alternately laugh-out-loud funny and teary-eyed touching,” writes one parent.
