MOTHERTRUCKER written and read by Amy Butcher - audiobook extract
b"Amy Butcher was an accomplished college professor, mentor and writer, but in her own home, she was embarrassed and emotionally burdened by an increasingly abusive relationship. Exhausted and terrified of the ways her partner's behaviour could escalate, Amy reached out to Instagram celebrity Joy 'Mothertrucker' Wiebe. Joy was a 50-year-old wife and mother and the nation's only female ice road trucker, a woman who maneuvered big rigs through the Alaskan wilderness along the deadliest road in America. Joy was everything Amy wanted to be: independent, fearless and in charge of her life in a landscape dominated by men. Invited by Joy to ride shotgun, Amy found her escape on a road that was treacherous, beautiful and exhilarating.\\n\\nMothertrucker is the story of that bracing 400-mile journey navigating snow-glazed overpasses, ice-blue curves and near plummets.\\n\\nSoon to be a major film starring Julianne Moore."
