Actor, filmmaker and musician John Schneider is proud to announce the upcoming release of his wife Alicia Allain Schneider’s new book, In the Driver’s Seat: Love, Loss & Living with No Regrets. The book will be released on November 23, 2023, and is available for pre-order now at JohnSchneiderStudios.com.

In painstaking detail and with incredible transparency, Alicia and John share their true-life story of faith, love, humor, hope and redefining victory.

After battling record-breaking floods, financial ruin, divorce, jail and a culture intent on cancelling anyone who dares to speak their mind, screen legend John Schneider and producer/manager/spouse Alicia Allain face their biggest challenge yet in the form of stage four breast cancer that aggressively spread to her bones. With the conviction that a life of purpose cannot afford to be passive or wasted, Alicia determines to not only fight on her own terms but reaches out to others, even through the worst of her pain.

“This is the book Alicia started writing shortly before her cancer came back,” says John. “I can honestly say I’ve never met a stronger or braver warrior in my life than my beautiful ‘smile’. If you’re interested in knowing how to navigate anything that may come your way in life then I promise you that you will learn from the wisdom contained in these pages. Of course her story did not end the way we wanted it to, but I don’t believe the story has ended at all.”

Adds John, “Redefining victory is something that we all must occasionally do. The wisdom contained in these pages will change your life and the lives of those you love, regardless of how your story may end. They have certainly helped me and will for the rest of my life.”
