Growing up in Parkersburg, WV, Leigh visited Kings Island every summer with her eccentric dad, Bud. Love and Roller Coasters begins with the epic 1970s story of how a divorced dad and his daughter endure sleep deprivation, getting lost, perilously delayed lunches, and all the terror and the bliss of getting to the roller coasters and, finally, riding them. Share in this nostalgic journey and the surprising twists and turns when, many years later, Leigh and her husband Bob rediscover their forgotten love of roller coasters and amusement parks and Leigh finds the restorative power of Kings Island in her heart.
