Overview

Childhood or wildhood? This collection of stories begins with a young boy whose cleverness, ability, and determination are more inline with an adult rather than the curious-minded six year old that we are introduced to in the first story.Normal was never to be a part of Marcel Pontbriand's life. Orphaned at the tender young age of 14 and with only pennies to his name, you'll read about how he took to the ice roads of Canada and met with fear, tragedy, and obstacles that only few could even imagine.Challenge, defeat, and the curses of Mother Nature would forge the young Marcel into a focused dreamer who would plan, re-examine his situation, and promise himself a better life, all the while pledging to help others along the way. Just like the highways of Canada and the U.S.A., it's never a straight path to meet a timeline and a destination.These stories will take you on an adventure of one man's life that was intertwined with controversy, crime, and corruption.It's been a truckin' hard life for Marcel Pontbriand, a life that he would not change in the least, because it molded him into what he became to be called; Cowboy of the Road He has driven more than 5 million miles behind the wheel of his Peterbilt rig. So, let us begin this incredible collection of true tales right now!

About the Author

How well do you really know your spouse?
To be in love with Marcel Pontbriand is bliss and wanting to know more about the man I have been married to for two decades became my personal mission. Not for spite or to uncover dirt, but to better realize, understand, and appreciate what it took to mold my husband Marcel into the businessman, father, husband, and good-hearted human being that he has become.
Marcel and I married in the years 2000. Even before we were married it was obvious that our minds and hearts complimented each other. We are like two inter-locking puzzle pieces that together we have been fortunate enough to really enjoy life, each other, and share our success with others morally, financially, and lovingly.
Please let me be clear. These are not just stories about my husband’s rise to prosperity, but an inside look into what an individual can do with persistence and determination.
I hope you enjoy reading about my husband Marcel Pontbriand’s life stories as much as I enjoyed listening to him tell them to me first-hand. I’ve written these stories in a very informal and conversational style so that you can get a better feel of his memories, words, and emotions.
