A Rex-Full Summer

A Thrifty Traveler’S Tribulations and Triumphs

By: Helen Buell Whitworth

A dream realized is seldom as perfect as expected. When thrift-queen Helen gets her wish to become a motorhome traveler, she finds her adventures leavened with crises. With her patient, fastidious husband, she travels from Arizona to Washington in a motorhome that sometimes seems to have a mind of its own. A side trip to visit family in Alaska provides the reader with an unexpected view of life in that state. Readers loved Betsy, Helens first novel. A Caregivers Guide to Lewy Body Dementia, written with her husband James A. Whitworth, has become the premier resource book for LBD caregivers. A Rex-full Summer is neither a serious novel nor an important resource book. It IS an easy-reading book that will make you chuckle and even laugh out loud. RVers, bargain hunters and couples everywhere will relate.
