A Broadway actress and her family go on a cross-country adventure during the COVID-19 shutdown Drive follows the pandemic shut-down journey of Come From Away actress Sharon Wheatley and her family from Broadway's sudden closure to when the curtains finally go back up. Along the way, Wheatley thinks back on the humor and grit of her parents and draws strength from those memories in order to confront the challenges of shepherding her family (and pets) through this unprecedented time, while making hilarious memories along the way. Drive is part travelogue, part Little Miss Sunshine , and all Broadway. "Sharon is big-hearted, funny, and my kind of gal. You're going to love her." — Kristin Chenoweth, Tony and Emmy Award-winning singer and actor "A warm and enchanting road trip about love, fear, life, and the challenges of changing out a propane tank? Sharon Wheatley's vivid spirit guides us through the American pandemic with courage and a light heart." — Theresa Rebeck , playwright, television writer, and novelist "Sharon Wheatley takes us on a wild journey through her Broadway life, her second marriage, the death of her parents, a cross-country RV ride, and so much more with warmth, humility, her trademark humor, and flat-out good writing. You'll want to finish it in one sitting." — Seth Rudetsky , musician, actor, writer, and celebrated host on Sirius/XM Satelite Radio's On Broadway "Sharon's story reminds us that so much life can happen when you're somewhere in the middle of nowhere—and she and her wonderful family are great companions for the ride. So glad we were invited along for this beautiful story of getting through one of the darkest times with wit, wisdom, and warmth. Equal parts heartbreaking and hilarious, Drive proves Sharon is just as talented and entertaining on the page as she is onstage." — Irene Sankoff and David Hein , writers of the Tony Award-winning Broadway hit, Come From Away "This book is like a public service to anyone who doesn't have a friend they periodically need to sit down on the couch with just to hear talk—because they're funny, sure, but also because they're mischievously warm and decidedly not aggressive (relaxing, even), and because they're so comfortable with their voice . . . and with you. You know you're in good hands with this person, so you make them coffee and selfishly demand they just talk to you, because you know you'll feel safe, and amused, and moved, and ultimately taken care of as her audience of one. If you don't have a friend like this (and even if you do), I'm pleased to announce you can now have Sharon Wheatley and her wonderful recollections all to yourself to make you feel like 1. someone likes you enough to take this uniquely familiar, cozy tone with you and 2. that somehow, even the hardest things in life aren't things you can't (or won't) get through." — BD Wong , Tony Award-winning actor, writer, and director
