Route 66 Dreamer is Michael Lund's tenth novel set in the
historical background of Route 66, the Nation's "Mother Road."
Earlier novels depicted life as it was in the Midwest during the
early golden ages of interstate highways and experiences of related
characters in "Growing Up on Route 66." The current 5-volume
series, headlined At Home and Away, chronicles an American family
during times of peace and war from 1915 to 2015. The first book,
Route 66 Sweetheart (2011), is set mostly in and around Rutherford,
New Jersey, during the 1930s. Route 66 Dreamer (2012) features the
son of a Swedish immigrant who pursues his dreams of American
success in Kansas and Missouri in the early 1940s. However, in both
books some family members move away to distant countries and
unexpected challenges. The third volume, Route 66 Looking-glass
(2013), will take place primarily in Missouri in 1965, but
characters also travel far from home and familiar experiences. Book
Four (2014) follows another generation of family members, this time
from Missouri to Southeast Asia where many learn, sadly, "how to
not tell a war story." In the final volume of the series (2015),
the next generation travels to Europe and the Middle East to
understand their identity in a multi-national community.
