"After devouring the first chapter of Tracy Bouvier's Drop Me Around the Corner, I was hooked. I felt like I was right there. I couldn't wait to enjoy the rest of the book. Very engaging." -Roger Fisher, lead guitarist for the rock and roll band Heart "Tracy Bouvier has mined not gold but brass in this volume about growing up with her father, a man who became a legend by driving a van completely covered in brass items around the streets of Burbank, CA. (People still talk about him today!) You can almost feel her teenage embarrassment as he drove her to school, but love conquers all, and this book works as a fond reminiscence of an innocent time and a definitely unique father. A memoir you will ponder once you finish it-can somebody please option this out for a teleplay? You will not be disappointed by this gal's story!" -Wes Clark, coauthor of Lost Burbank, Growing Up in Burbank and True Tales from Burbank "Tracy's prose moves at the pace of memory, making her unique coming-of-age into a satisfying story of off-beat love and lives well lived that you won't soon forget." -David Farris, award-winning author of Lie Still "Tracy Bouvier's memorable coming-of-age story candidly reveals what it's like to grow up the child of a very charismatic and eccentric father-Ernie Steingold. I found it especially fascinating to read about Tracy's reaction to such a paradoxical single parent. A simple vacuum repairman by trade, Ernie was a man who, outside of work, derived such pleasure and vanity from his muscular body and his outlandish California fantasy van. I found myself smiling a lot as I turned the pages of this unusual and honest memoir." -Harrod Blank, independent filmmaker, author of Art Cars, the Artists, the Obsession, the Craft "Raising a father is hard work, and in Drop Me Around the Corner, Tracy Steingold Bouvier celebrates the child inside the man in this endearing memoir about two generations growing up together." -Erin Hosier, Tell Me About Your Father podcast...
