Annalisa's Highway Blues David Reichart

Annalisa?s Highway Blues is a romantic comedy that asks the question, ?Can a prom queen learn to drive an 18-wheeler and, during her first week on the road, capture the heart of a handsome Chicago industrialist?? The answer is ?yes, but...? Despite their contentious first meeting, Mike Cindik is absolutely captivated by this exotic, strange-talking, truck driving Louisiana girl and he pursues her across the Midwestern interstate system with great difficulty and determination (guilt and fear, too, since he?s engaged to a very manipulative and influential debutante). Annalisa Rochon is pretty but humble, with traditional family values and a naughty streak. Life on the road is full of danger, hard work and loneliness, but she has to do it for six months to help her parents (who think she?s a flight attendant) through a financial crisis. She really doesn?t need a guy like Mike Cindik (cute, rich, kind of nice and completely out of her league) complicating her life, which is screwed up enough. The pesky fairy tale dream persists, though, and generates a series of unlikely adventures, misadventures, romantic misses and near misses for two people from vastly different worlds who are actually quite right for each other.
