Eric T. Smith, a graduate of culinary arts with years of restaurant experience, has completed his new audiobook "Driving Around": a heartfelt look into lifelong friendships that teach the most valuable lessons.

Smith says, "'Driving Around' is the story of a group of high school friends trying to find their place on the popularity chart. Thanks to the fact that it takes place in the late nineties, social media doesn't play a role in this at all. They find a way to enjoy their time spent together, and the most often experienced adventure is driving around the small town where they all live. Maybe they would hang out in this one's house for most of Saturday night and that one's backyard for the majority of the following Friday evening, but you better believe that a portion of the time was spent simply driving around as a group throughout their area. This pack is made up of both males and females, so eventually, attraction to certain other clique members takes its place, which causes all of them to vastly evolve their overall relationships. Our lead character, Toby Anderson, helps to develop this group's friendship and works to keep them all tightly close to each other. As we progress, he is a major part of roughing up just how tight the group of friends ends up being. We get to experience many of their firsts and a fair amount of evolvements along the way. Significant parts of a teenager's life can greatly affect the future of their existence."
