What folks are saying about Driving Naked
“Like a road rally in a fancy foreign car, author Katherine Vaccaro takes the reader on an adventure down roads most of us may never travel in real life, from clubs for the super-smart to clothing-optional beaches. But the most compelling trip her debut memoir embarks on is the one we all must someday take - to our final destination. Driving Naked explores the important question of who ultimately has the right to decide when, where, and how the journey ends.”
— Darlyn Finch Kuhn, author of Red Wax Rose, Three Houses, and Sewing Holes
In her memoir, Driving Naked, Katherine Vaccaro is unafraid to unearth buried memories while evoking empathy and emotions in her readers. She truly shows the pain and loss of true love.
— Meg Lelvis, writer of mid-century women's fiction
An extraordinary tale of love at the soul level, of a partnership so strong that it challenged social conventions
. . . and even fate itself. A powerful, heart-wrenching, and haunting memoir—not to be missed.
— Renée Anduze, author of Take a Left at Tomorrow
The author poignantly shares her story with tales and trips that the couple take together through the years to road rallies, car enthusiast shows, and as nudists to clothing-optional beaches and nudist resorts. . . .the first-person perspective allows the reader to consider the journey the couple took, judgment-free.
— Mary Jane Kolassa, American Association for Nude Recreation
