My first book, There is a Road in North Dakota," is my memoir of growing up Catholic in the 50s and 60s in North Dakota, studying in France, where I met my wife, and my return to the family beer business on the death of a brother. This book is about the Odysees I have expereinced: travels in Europe, learning to live in Mexico, about North Dakota, and what it is like to be the "Budman" in Bismarck, North Dakota. If you like David Sedaris, you will enjoy these wide-ranging chapters.
