Maria Hackett's My Travels: A Family Story is a heartwarming memoir of her family's travels across the United States. Hackett writes with honesty and humor about their many adventures, both big and small, and the challenges they faced along the way. But more than just a travelogue, Hackett's book is a celebration of the family bond and the importance of creating memories that will last a lifetime.
Hackett's family travels began when she was a child, and they continued throughout her teenage years and into her early adulthood. Her parents were passionate about exploring new places, and they instilled that same sense of wanderlust in their children.

She writes, "Travel is not just about seeing new places, it's about creating experiences that you will cherish forever."
