From the bestselling author ofThe Circle, a hilarious & heart-warming misadventure through modern America: it's time for the family vacation...Josie'slife is falling apart - lawsuits raining down, her business down the drain & a feckless husband long gone - so she gathers up her two kids & lights out for the wilderness. TheAlaskanwilderness, to be specific. This is a story about the trip of a lifetime. It involves one battered old RV, one highly sensitive eight year old boy, one fearless & hyperactive five year old girl, several forest fires, a large supply of pinot noir, & a deeply misguided sense of optimism. It may well be that things don't turn out quite asJosieexpected - but then again, some of the best places in the world are found at the end of a road you didn't mean to take...Heroes of the Frontieris an uproariously funny portrait of modernAmerica& the modern family, an entirely contemporary novel gleaming withDave Eggers'trademark intelligence & originality.°°°Dave Eggersis the author of manybooks, including The Circle, The Monk of Mokha, What is the What, A Hologram for the King, & The Lifters.He is founder ofMcSweeney’s, an independent publishing company based inSan Franciscothat produces books, a humor website, and a journal of new writing,McSweeney’s Quarterly Concern.McSweeney’salso publishesVoice of Witness, a nonprofit book series that uses oral history to illuminate human rights crises around the world.Eggersis the co-founder of826 National, a network of youth writing & tutoring centers around the United States.
