Rides Shared: Thanks for the Trip

by Carrie Dennison

Overview

As a dedicated single mother, I've always juggled multiple roles to provide the best for my family. When I decided to drive for Uber to subsidize my income, I never imagined it would transform into a side hustle filled with unexpected adventures and laughter. Navigating the city's streets, I encountered a diverse array of passengers, each with their own unique stories, which inspired me to pen a hilarious short book. Through this creative outlet, I not only documented the amusing tales from my rides but also found the humor and joy in the chaos of everyday life. My journey as a mother and entrepreneur has been both challenging and rewarding, and I hope to inspire others to find the silver linings in their own unique paths.

About the Author

Born in the picturesque city of Naples, Italy, in 1983, alongside my identical twin sister, my early life was a tapestry of vibrant colors and rich culture. Our family moved to the serene Crystal Coast of North Carolina, where I spent a sun-kissed childhood chasing waves and dreams. In my 20s, I found my calling as a restaurant manager, immersing myself in the dynamic world of culinary delights and customer service. But life, with its unpredictable twists, had other plans when the restaurant closed its doors. This unexpected turn led me to the bustling world of ride-share driving, a job that became an unexpected source of joy and inspiration. Through countless rides and conversations, I gathered a treasure trove of stories—each ride a chapter in the book of life. These experiences eventually found their way into a book, where I share the laughter, lessons, and life-changing moments from the driver’s seat, inviting readers to join me on this hilarious journey.
