Following in the Footsteps of Steinbeck

Sleeping with Steinbeck by Kelly Dougherty, a recent BookSurge publication, will take you on a cross country journey through the America of then and now.

Charleston, South Carolina (PRWEB) January 21, 2006 -- Sleeping with Steinbeck is a remarkably honest work of creative non-fiction that chronicles author Kelly Dougherty’s cross-country journey with her dog. Following in the footsteps of legendary author and Nobel Prize winner John Steinbeck, Dougherty shares a refreshingly descriptive perspective of the American spirit.

Accompanied only by her dog Marley, Kelly Dougherty travels the country in hopes of gaining an understanding of the differences between Steinbeck’s America and her own. The author’s astute and often hilarious observations of local characters in towns across the United States offer candid insights to Dougherty’s attempt to process her own life. With sharp and deliberate prose, the author puts forward the country’s need for a stronger connective spirit.

Travel buffs, admirers of uniquely American literature, and those on a quest to identify their purpose in life will enjoy sharing Kelly and Marley’s experiences in this touching chronicle.
