Strangers in My Backseat: Three Years, Thousands of Rides, and the People Who Changed How I See the World (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798182143981)

What would you tell a stranger you'd never see again?

Quite a lot, it turns out.

In three years driving for Uber, Rick Daltrey has heard confessions, witnessed standoffs, and refereed negotiations. On one memorable night he spoke to a grieving woman as her late father - because she asked, and because his voice sounded exactly right. He has driven 9/11 survivors, green card negotiators, and a young woman who needed exactly one person to say: you don't have to do what he says.

Strangers in My Backseat collects the rides that stayed with him. It is a book about the private lives people carry invisibly through a city, and what happens when the right conditions - a moving car, a stranger, fifteen minutes with nowhere else to be - make those lives briefly visible.

Funny, moving, and occasionally jaw-dropping.

For anyone who has ever wondered what goes on in the front seat.
