Today I'm talking to Cliff Burke, the author of An Occasionally Happy Family, which releases on May 18, 2021- which is today!!
This story is told from the perspective of a thirteen-year-old boy whose family goes on a week-long vacation to Big Bend National Park in West Texas. It’s the first vacation since his mother has passed away, and soon after they leave, his father announces that he has a surprise for them at the end of the trip.
Most everyone has experience with a car trip/family vacation and will relate the ups and downs of the endeavor. Parents and kids get frustrated with each other, and chaos ensues.
