The Kansal Clunker

"You'd be hard pressed to come up with a more unlikely vessel for self-discovery than the 1998 Acura Integra . . . Discarded and almost a quarter-century old, the lime-green 'Teggy' . . . is the embodiment of second chances and proof-positive that life is, indeed, a highway . . . Their alternating voices warmly recount their venture . . . a near universal expression of the quintessential nature of families-and the complexity of father and son relationships in particular . . . This charming father and son adventure demonstrates that the road ahead is full of promise, but never without risk; in the end, family is what makes the journey possible." - Kirkus Reviews

"You will want to 'call shotgun' on this epic adventure that this dynamic father-son duo created and executed with grace, grit, and determination . . . the teacher became the student . . . and the student became the teacher." - Scott Chesney, World-renowned motivational speaker, life coach, and consultant

"A gripping travel saga-lucid, vivid, and joyfully told. The Kansal Clunker brings its journey and characters to life on every page." - Mona Verma, Author, UN Karamveer & Prem Chand Literature Awardee
