Book excerpt: Description From her ranch on Ambush Hill in West Texas, Sonja Klein has produced second book even better than Honk If You Married Sonja! Hop in her back pocket and travel vicariously with this cheeky Texas gal as she explores Brazil, China, East Africa, India, Vietnam and many other destinations, one adventure-and misadventure-at a time. You'll be intrigued with her no-holds-barred essays, worldwide travel adventures and Texas ranch life. From the author I believe that we are nomads and that traveling helps us find ourselves. Most human contacts have been made through travel by wandering pilgrims who approached the meaning of life through walking. We might be able to think and live better and be closer to our purpose in life if we moved continually across this earth. I hope that this book will stir the hunger within you to experience the romance of life. My wish for you is to leave the prison of necessity that diverts from the true life of the spirit. Walk through that door, where an untraveled world beckons, for we are all born adventurers. You might as well admit it. Travel writing is about storytelling and I can only hope that I have told my story well. Most of all, I invite you to join me. What people are saying "When I was a boy, Sonja Klein was one of the first grown-ups in my life to show me it was okay to have fun. Sonja is my mom's younger first cousin. My first memories of her are of liking her and wanting to be around her. She always seemed happy and excited about whatever she was doing. She was pretty, wore cool clothes, drove fast cars and raced motorcycles. "Sonja gave me my first job away from the family farm, working as a 13-year-old floor sweeper and window washer at her newly acquired Honda and Yamaha shop in Conroe, Texas. She taught me that being responsible to my own interests was one of life's greatest gifts. She taught me that it's possible to be a good, productive person and still embrace with enthusiasm the unknown possibilities every day has to offer. In Roundtrip from Texas, you'll get to know Sonja too, and you'll see exactly what I mean." - Lyle Lovett, Singer/Songwriter and Actor "Roundtrip from Texas enabled me to experience more lands and peoples than I can ever hope to experience first hand. . . . Still, I feel the fifty shades of Sonja have not all been revealed . . . yet." - Eric Zimmerman, Retired Homicide Detective "I started reading Roundtrip from Texas this morning and ended up being late to my yoga class! I have been jumping around visiting different chapters. The ending is truly the best. Made my day!" - Tami Lynn, Owner of Cruising Luxury, California Author bio Sonja Rose Klein is a native Texan and graduate of the University of Texas.
