Don’t Call Me Mrs Rogers: Love Loathing And Our Epic Drive Around The World

At the turn of the millennium, American-born Paige Parker and investment guru Jim Rogers spend three years—1,101 days to be exact—driving over six continents in their "sunburst yellow" coupe and trailer, ultimately setting a Guinness World Record. During the epic journey, Paige's worldview is turned upside down, eventually leading her and her family to their ideal home in Singapore.

On the road trip, she meets women from every walk of life, inspiring monks in China, boy soldiers in Angola and oppressive patriarchy in too many countries, yet she walks away with a profound faith in humankind. She now wants to pass the lessons from the road to her two daughters, to women everywhere and to all intrepid travellers.

WITH AN AFTERWORD BY JIM ROGERS
“To witness her education by the world and her coming of age was to see a beautiful, intelligent naïf become the woman she is today: a smarter, focused woman with strong passions, eager to do good and bring change.”
