"A Bryson-esque delight - wry, witty, and profoundly observant" "an insightful and humorous essay on life in America as a Brit" "stinging wit and brilliant storytelling", "Let's hope there's a sequel" (Amazon Reviews)
America is a place where you can buy a gun faster than you can order a pizza. Andy Gabriel-Powell didn't just visit, he lived it. Arriving as a British Expat and departing via a 3000 mile odyssey through the Appalachians, Andy spent eight years peeling back the layers of the American Dream. From the sterile walls of a deportation lounge to the surreal glitz of becoming a Hollywood 'Expert' on national TV, he witnessed a nation in flux.
Across 22 states and 8 National parks, he navigated the backwoods of Appalachia, the quiet dignity of Amish communities, and the high-octane chaos of the January 6th insurrection. Through the rise of Donald Trump, and the terror of living with COVID, Only in America is an insightful, hilarious, and deeply engrossing look at a country that is as beautiful as it is bewildering.
