TERESA BRUCE
The Drive Searching for Lost Memories on the Pan-American Highway
A captivating road trip memoir with a twist, as the author retraces the Central and South American route she took with her family decades earlier in the wake of unspeakable grief
I
n 2003, teresa bruce set out on a road trip on the Pan American Highway in a rickety camper with her old dog and new
husband in tow. Bruce first followed the exact route in 1973 with her parents at the helm, following the accidental death of their youngest child, Bruce’s brother John. Her attempt to retrace their steps, using her mother’s journal as a guide, is motivated in equal parts by a need for exploration and a search for healing. The Drive combines moments of deep heartbreak with unimaginable joy over a panoply of unforgettable settings, as Bruce brings the Central and South American scenery to life in rich detail. She chroni- cles an incredible journey through beautiful and at times war-torn countries, across barricaded, flooded, and open roads.
TERESA BRUCE is a public relations and marketing specialist, award-winning screenwriter, and TEDx speaker. Her PBS documentary God’s Gonna Trouble the Water won a CINE Golden Eagle. She lives in Washington, DC.
