This book honors the unsung heroes of America's working class—truckers, security guards, factory workers, construction crews, and all those who labor long hours with little recognition. It’s a tribute to their grit, quiet dignity, and the strength they summon in the face of hardship. The author reflects deeply on their own father, a lifelong truck driver whose resilience and work ethic shaped their values. Through personal experience on the road and in security, the author has met countless individuals whose untold stories inspired this fictional narrative. The book is a testament to perseverance, reinvention, and the enduring spirit of those who keep the country moving—often silently, always steadfastly. It’s a tribute to lives lived with courage, humor, and grace, even when the path forward is uncertain.

John Simon is a passionate storyteller, songwriter, and animal lover based in the charming town of Guthrie, Oklahoma. With a heart as big as the prairie skies and a mind brimming with creativity, John weaves tales that resonate with readers of all ages—whether through the pages of his books or the lyrics of his songs.

His deep love for animals shines through in his writing, often featuring themes of loyalty, resilience, and the unspoken bond between humans and their furry companions. At the center of his world is Rona, his spirited Pitbull and constant muse, whose adventures and personality often inspire characters and melodies alike.

When he's not writing or composing, John can be found exploring the Oklahoma countryside, volunteering at local shelters, or simply enjoying quiet moments with Rona by his side. His work reflects a soulful blend of compassion, humor, and authenticity—inviting readers to see the world through kinder eyes.

Whether it's a heartfelt ballad or a gripping novel, John Simon's creations are a tribute to the beauty of connection, the joy of storytelling, and the enduring love between people and their pets.
