'When I am 70 I intend to ride a Harley...' So starts the journey of this book. What is this journey? Behind The Glass Frame tells the story of many journeys in the USA and the opening of car doors, which lead to more stories, reflections and indeed adventures. The USA is a fascinating country. There are many people who would never dream of visiting, or if they did visit, would go the 'hot spots' of New York, Florida, California. However, the most marvellous aspects of the USA can be places that are not always on the tourist track. The book looks at these journeys over several visits to the country. None of the descriptions are fiction. They all happened. Come and meet the marvellous people in them. Decide for yourself. When the car stops the doors open. They open to stories. These stories are fiction, faction, reflection, are a break in the journey and are funny and serious. Come on the journey. Open the car doors!
