Description:
 In 2007 Dina Bennett and her husband Bernard embarked on the 7,800-mile Peking to Paris Classic Car Motor Challenge. They drove a 1940 LaSalle, the rebuild of which nearly ended in divorce. In her book "Peking to Paris," Bennett shares the inside story of the race, and how she was brought to the brink of despair and back again trying to save the car, her confidence and her marriage from breaking down. Travel with Bennett during this presentation, as she talks about her adventures on the road and in life.
