Jack Sheedy began his story with the groundbreaking 2012 memoir Sting of the Heat Bug, focusing on challenges and triumphs in his life. In 2024, his second memoir, In My Father's Tire Tracks, focuses on two time periods: 1959, when his father made a memorable cross-country road trip; and 2021, when the author duplicated the trip city by city to understand what drove his father to drive. In 2026, he reissued Sting of the Heat Bug and paired it with In My Father's Tire Tracks. Separately, these books total $40.00. Now buy the whole 552 pages of both books for $30.00!
