Summary
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。

You Are My Sunshine: A Story of Love， Promises， and a Really Long Bike Ride by Sean Dietrich was a pretty good book。 This book was far from my average read， since I usually don’t read nonfiction books。 The author’s writing style was lighthearted and humorous， which helped make this book an enjoyable read。 Although this book wasn’t quite the book for me， it was incredibly well written and had great storytelling which made it a quick and easy read that I flew through。 This book was both an inspira You Are My Sunshine: A Story of Love， Promises， and a Really Long Bike Ride by Sean Dietrich was a pretty good book。 This book was far from my average read， since I usually don’t read nonfiction books。 The author’s writing style was lighthearted and humorous， which helped make this book an enjoyable read。 Although this book wasn’t quite the book for me， it was incredibly well written and had great storytelling which made it a quick and easy read that I flew through。 This book was both an inspirational and adventurous true tale and I can see how many people will enjoy reading this particular book。 Overall there wasn’t anything that I disliked about this book， it just wasn’t for me。 If you enjoy inspirational nonfiction reads， consider checking this one out！ 。。。more

“But my life isn’t a book。 It’s ordinary。 And even though I want it to be more sometimes， it’s not。 There are no film scores， no lighting effects， no A-list actors with high cheekbones。 There is only us。 There is only now。”🚴Blurb: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 P “But my life isn’t a book。 It’s ordinary。 And even though I want it to be more sometimes， it’s not。 There are no film scores， no lighting effects， no A-list actors with high cheekbones。 There is only us。 There is only now。”🚴Blurb: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。💭Thoughts: This was just the fun， heartfelt， laugh out loud book I didn’t know I needed！ I read this book in a day and smiled the whole time。 It’s a great reminder that good people still exist and you’re never to old for an adventure！ I enjoyed learning about a part of the country that I’ve never visited and really know little about。 I can tell you lots about trails in the PNW， but very little about the east coast。 I found the author’s fear of snakes so relatable！ No high grass for me！ I’m constantly on guard for snakes and there is no way I’m pitching a tent in snake country！ 🤷🏻♀️There are a lot of references to God and religion in this book。 It’s not a focal point， but you can tell it is a big part of the author’s life。 Highly recommend for those who enjoy inspirational and adventurous nonfiction。 。。。more

I received this book yesterday and finished it today。 I thought it was a great book and I wanted to keep reading to see how far they would make and what they would encounter next。This book was about a bike trip through the Great Allegheny Passage and the C&O Canal Towpath Trail。 Sean was on a trike and his wife on a bike。 I like bike riding， but I don't think I could have gone through some of the places that they biked through。 At times they couldn't really see the trail because of the high gras I received this book yesterday and finished it today。 I thought it was a great book and I wanted to keep reading to see how far they would make and what they would encounter next。This book was about a bike trip through the Great Allegheny Passage and the C&O Canal Towpath Trail。 Sean was on a trike and his wife on a bike。 I like bike riding， but I don't think I could have gone through some of the places that they biked through。 At times they couldn't really see the trail because of the high grasses and a few times they didn't see each other for hours。 A couple of the days they kept going even though the rain sounded like it was pretty bad。They camped some of the time along the way and not being a camper， it amazed me at some of the places they camped。 Even the shelters that they stayed at didn't sound too appealing。 It must have felt pretty amazing to finish。 。。。more

I was pleasantly surprised with the way the author wrote this book。 I was expecting a heartfelt， emotional book with an inspiring message。 While it was still like that， I appreciated the humor that the author used when writing this story。 I also thought it was sweet how even while using the humorous tone， the author managed to provide meaningful messages and share his story and experiences he shared with his wife in the past。 Overall， it was a really good book and a pretty easy read in my opinio I was pleasantly surprised with the way the author wrote this book。 I was expecting a heartfelt， emotional book with an inspiring message。 While it was still like that， I appreciated the humor that the author used when writing this story。 I also thought it was sweet how even while using the humorous tone， the author managed to provide meaningful messages and share his story and experiences he shared with his wife in the past。 Overall， it was a really good book and a pretty easy read in my opinion。 I also thought the cover to this book was super cute。 The cover is happy and colorful， which was definitely a great addition to add to my bookshelf。 I definitely think if anyone is looking for a funny， easy read， and a book that has proper meaningful messages and a sweet love story， this is the book that they should pick up。 I hope to see more work from this author！ 。。。more
