Sisters of the Road Book

from £45.00

Sisters of the Road grew from childhood memories of my mother driving me and my sisters across the USA — just the four of us, starting over as a family of women after my parents' divorce. Along the way, I noticed the lone truckers at roadside diners and the big rigs that shared the highway — a quiet, parallel world of solitary travellers. Years later, I returned — travelling 10,000 miles across the US to seek out, speak with, and photograph America's trucker women.

The result is this book. Sisters of the Road documents the remarkable lives of forty female American truckers. In this collection of experiences, personal stories told in the subjects’ own words are set alongside arresting portraiture and images of the vast and ever-changing landscape they traverse.
Each of my subjects has her own story, her own reason to keep moving.
But collectively, Sisters of the Road tells a story of resilience and finding empowerment via the open road.
