Unique Dual-Narrative Travel Memoir "The Backpack Years" Wins Over Fans of Fiction

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Stefanie and James Wilson's memoir The Backpack Years is appealing to a wide range of readers, due to the authors' novelesque writing style and dual-POV format.

In memoirs that run parallel, Stef and James travel and work in thirteen countries over six years. They recount experiences many readers of the pandemic-era can relate to, like quitting jobs to prioritize their mental health and taking chances in search of joy and satisfaction. However, their true story is told in a creative, immersive style typically found in fiction.

The Backpack Years is receiving rave reviews from novel-lovers on Goodreads and Bookstagrammers.
