Looking Up

A Memoir About Life's Sudden Exits

De: Casey Roman

Narrado por: Casey Roman

Losing her TV news career and her home in the same year wasn’t on Casey Roman’s 2018 Bingo card. Neither was sleeping in Walmart parking lots and nearly deciding to end her own life. But the world is full of blind curves, and salvation comes in unusual forms, like a cargo van. What began as a three-week road trip to erase her “news lady” image became a 12,000-mile solo journey that saved Casey’s life.

Looking Up is a riches-to-rags-to-rebellion memoir that reads like a love letter to small-town America. Hop in the passenger’s seat and ride along for encounters that are sometimes scary and often hilarious, from rapping in the “Murder Capital of the US” to luring a moose with a bag of bread in Maine. For anyone looking for direction who feels like they’re running on empty, Casey Roman’s story is a reminder to keep driving toward the horizon, no matter what. Hope is out there.

What’s next Casey?

It was just what I was expecting from Casey, straight and hilarious at the same time, frank and sassy just like her. Thanks to Casey I walked additional miles listening to the audiobook because I couldn’t stop “mid-lesson”. Thanks Casey.

Funny take on life’s realities

She will put a smile on your face and wonderment in your heart — because of her funny and unique view of all of us and everywhere.

Great Gal

She was Intelligent, warm and entertaining. We have common interests. Kept my interest well.I think you will love this audio book.

Hilarious

Casey's story telling is top tier. That said, this is still a story of one's, at times deep, struggles to find purpose and simply how to make a living.

Casey reads her own story! What else could be better than that?

Great story. Engaging, inspiring, positive and funny and read like no one else could. I was sad at the end but not because of the story line, it was because I didn’t want it to end.

I really hope this author writes more. Keep looking up!

A funny and uplifting read!

She is truly inspiring! She shares her insight about the truly important things and events in life!

A master class in storytelling!

I purchased the audio version of Looking Up by Casey Roman because I'm dyslexic. In this case that was a good thing since Casey, the master storyteller herself, enthusiastically read just for me. Her witty humor is unrelenting as she takes the reader from one seemingly impossible adventure to another. The book is so dense with humorous detail that you could read it many times and still smile at the things you missed on previous readings. I don't even feel worthy writing this review so I will spare you. Buy the book if you can keep up or get the audio version and buckle up.
Note; there are many wonderful photos of the people, places and creatures she talks about in the book and a website to find the same photos for the audio version. Enjoy!!!

This is a must read!

Looking Up is a must read especially the audiobook version. Casey Roman is the best storyteller and the ONLY person who can tell her story.
I've followed Casey's You Tube channel since she began van life, loved her channel from the start. The girls got spunk.
Her storytelling ability is like no other and her photography and videography skills are truly amazing.
New York Times bestseller, here we come!

terrific stories told with humor

I love that Casey is so real. I have followed her for years and love her humor. she's a wonderful person and story teller.

Simply AMAZING

Best audible book I’ve bought to date! Never have I laughed out loud so many times from a book. This author truly has a gift and we should all be thankful she shared it to the world through “Looking Up”. Her journey and the way she described it is so inspiring and entertaining. Do yourself a favor and get this one! No way will you be disappointed.
