Famous!

By: Riano D. McFarland

Narrated by: Rodney Tompkins

Unlike most people who set goals for themselves, Alexander Myles had a very specific interpretation of success. His sister was a world-renowned neurosurgeon, and his brother was a highly decorated Navy F-18 pilot. While his siblings were undoubtedly among the best in their selected fields of expertise, all of that meant nothing to Alexander because, aside from their direct family members and closest friends, no one even knew who they were.

Although Alex had no idea which of his yet-to-be monumental achievements would be the one to launch him on his road to success, that was of little concern to him because the path was irrelevant, as long as the destination fulfilled his desire: to be famous.

When he sets out in search of his destiny, driving the 1968 Chevy Impala he inherited from his father, he discovers the car has a history all its own, and that there was a reason no one other than his father had ever driven it. As Alex reaches for his goals of fame and fortune, he finds love along the way, but there are those who live to turn his dreams into a nightmare that even a classic muscle car—known as The Black Phantom—cannot outrun.

Talk about twist and turns!

This book takes you on a trip of twists and turns, as Alexander not only finds his way to fame but also find what his family has sacrificed for him to get where he is.

Great Story, with Old Car Racing

This is a Wounderful story of one son who after staying with his parents to help, goes to find his own dream. The trip is basicly unplanned and it is like his deceased father is leading him on a trip of discovery. A lot of background on muscle Car racing too! Narrator does a Great job with the entire storyline of this book.

Made me reconsider my own intelligence ;D

I probably read too much litrpg' and crime fiction to not have been able to see the plot direction here.
It's... kinds of obvious and simple... and yet refreshing.
And I love how the MC here is not necessarily always the MC of the events in his life. That was actually great.

Heartfelt Story With Miracle Moments

This story is an absolute gem—a delightful, heartfelt journey that pulls on every heartstring in the best way possible with good narration. It has just the right touch of miracles and wonder woven throughout, making it feel like a story for anyone craving a dose of hope. I loved hearing the plot unfold from start to finish, and every encounter was purposeful, adding to a satisfying wrap-up that left me grinning. If you’re in the mood for a story that inspires and uplifts, this is a wonderful one to dive into.

family truths

I very much enjoyed this if you like racing and any form this could easily shouldn't be a book that you will greatly enjoy.
the unfortunate thing I did say and it's so true with many families is they don't necessarily talk and share things that they really should with one another and that's sad but it's an unfortunate truth of life it seems.
