Van of Valor

That’s right, folks—Books-A-Million is now officially home to the most epic road trip memoir ever written! 🚐💨

Forget your average honeymoon in paradise 🌴—Kevin and Lauren Wallace said “nah” to piña coladas and swapped their condo for a beat-up FedEx van with 300,000 miles. Because nothing says “just married” like a cross-country adventure with 317 interviews, 443 names painted on the side, and approximately 27,106 chances for the van to break down. 💀🔧

Kevin—a Purple Heart and Bronze Star with Valor recipient—and Lauren—an anthropologist who probably has a PhD in “How to Survive in a Rolling Metal Box”—decided their calling was to honor America’s heroes. So they drove through 48 states, collecting stories from Purple Heart vets, Gold Star families, and literally everyone who ever said “I got this” and then things went boom 💥🇺🇸

To all the EOD people out there—yes, YOU are in this book. 🧨 The ones who stare at wires and think, “Eh, probably fine.” The ones who walk toward the thing everyone else is running away from. The ones who make defusing bombs look like a casual Tuesday. Van of Valor has your stories. It has the jungles of Vietnam, the mountains of Afghanistan, the streets of Baghdad, and definitely some guy who tried to fix the van with duct tape and prayer. 🙏🔩

This book is part oral history, part memoir, and 100% proof that love means never having to say “maybe we should’ve just gone to Hawaii”. 🌺✈️

So grab your copy at BAM! Read about heroes who gave their all so you could be free—and also read about a van that probably had its own emotional support check engine light. 🚐❤️
