Just One More Drive: The true story of a stuttering homosexual and his race car
A story for every misfit who ever thought they were the only ones without all the answers. Robert O'Brien loves cars. Being behind the wheel was a refuge from bullying, insecurity, anxiety and confusion. His father's race car, a BMW E30 M3 Sport Evolution nicknamed the Beast, became his alter ego -- powerful, admired, confident -- and Robert began a quest to become a worthy owner, a "real man." Escaping Ireland to pursue an acting career in Vancouver, he learned there was one thing he couldn't run from: himself. Robert's struggle with self-worth would lead him to an airplane hangar outside Dublin, where the Beast almost killed him but also saved his life. Told with honesty and self-deprecating humour, this is the resonating story of men's mental and emotional health challenges, and discovering that you don't always need to be "fixed."
