Drop Me Around the Corner
Imagine life is like a sitcom starring your eccentric, single father who can never get enough attention. His physical appearance turns people’s heads. He wears an obvious toupee and walks around the house naked. He has a handlebar mustache and sideburns dyed jet black, and he shows off his tanned, muscular physique by leaving his shirt unbuttoned down to his navel wherever he goes. His appearance and his off-colored jokes draw attention, but his van is the real embarrassment.
This van is unlike anything you’ve ever seen. It’s covered in brass ornaments and silver dollars, and it shines like gold, attracting stares and even media coverage. Even Vegas casinos covet having it parked at their entrances for patrons to ogle.
Tracy shares what it was like being raised by her ostentatious but loving father. Left unsupervised to fend for herself in a series of life-threatening situations, Tracy finds herself on a wild ride down a road you would never expect.

Tracy Bouvier grew up in Burbank, California, where she was raised by her single dad, a local eccentric. She spent her teenage years riding in his crazy van, which was covered with brass ornaments, silver dollars, and stares from gawkers. As a teen, Tracy cringed from embarrassment when riding in her dad’s grandiose creation, but she eventually came to appreciate the van and the notoriety it brought her father. Tracy has been a record-setting college shot-putter, a motorcycle rider (and crasher), and a daffodil picker and once lived on a commune. She’s an operating room nurse of thirty-five years, and has been married to her husband for about the same length of time. They have two daughters.
