You Are My Sunshine

A Story of Love, Promises, and a Really Long Bike Ride

By: Sean Dietrich

Narrated by: Sean Dietrich

Read by the author.

A laugh-out-loud funny true story of a loving relationship, a grand adventure, and a promise kept.

It was only a few years after the starry-eyed young couple got married when scary news threatened to take the wind out of their sails. But Sean Dietrich's wife, Jamie, wouldn't let it. She dared to hope for and plan for a great big adventure, and she made him promise to do it with her. For love and the promise of biscuits along the way, Sean--who was never an athlete of any kind--undertook the bike ride of a lifetime and lived to talk about it.

In this true-life tale, master storyteller Sean Dietrich--also known as the beloved columnist and creator of the blog and podcast "Sean of the South"--shares their hilarious, touching, and sometimes terrifying story of the long bike ride to conquer The Great Allegheny Passage and the C&O Canal Towpath trail. As you laugh out loud through every hard-won mile and lose yourself in his signature poignancy, you'll experience a great adventure that, in the end, will remind you of what's most important in life, the value of keeping your promises, and the importance of connection in your most treasured relationships.

A feel-good read you won't be able to put down, You Are My Sunshine dares you to hope for an adventure of your own.

Great book

Really enjoyed this book. I love to listen to the author read it like he is telling the story.

What a Story!

I continue to be amazed at stories told. I look forward to the next adventure.

Awesome!

Thank you for a lovely experience. I didn't want it to end! Great read! Smile.

Very good but not as good as his other book

I enjoyed this book, but it wasn't outstanding and not up to the quality of his other books. There were certainly a fair number of entertaining moments, so I recommend it for a light read, but just don't expect as much humor as there normally is in Sean Dietrich's writing. But it's written during the pandemic so, considering that, it's really pretty uplifting I guess!

Sean does it again

If you need a positive, fun and lighthearted book, this won’t disappoint. It’s full of laughs and wisdom.
