Agathe and Réjean Lapointe are about to celebrate their twentieth
wedding anniversary when Réjean's beloved Chevy Silverado is found
abandoned at the side of the road — with no trace of Réjean. Agathe
handles her grief by fondling the shirts in the Big and Tall
department at Hickey's Family Apparel and carrying on a
relationship with a cigarette survey. As her hope dwindles, Agathe
falls in with her spirited coworker, Debbie, who teaches Agathe
about rock and roll, and with Martin Bureau, the one man who might
know the truth about Réjean's fate. Set against the landscape of
rural Acadia, I AM A TRUCK is a funny and moving tale about the
possibilities and impossibilities of love and loyalty.

"The wonder–packed drama of I AM A TRUCK plays itself out in the
impossible intersection of a Coen brothers movie, a James M. Cain
novel and a Looney Tunes feature. Michelle Winters has created a
fresh novel overflowing with mystery, emotional complexity and a
new and welcome breed of goofy charm." —Stuart Ross
