One and Only: The Untold Story of On the Road and LuAnne Henderson, the Woman Who Started Jack Kerouac and Neal Cassady on Their Journey Review: What a cool book - I had no idea this existed until I stumbled across it on the Kindle app - perhaps an algorithm related my interest in the Beat era. I consider this to be a gem of a book, I'm so grateful to have found it and read it. LuAnne was so very insightful about people. I wish I could hear clips of her interviews so I could listen to her accent & cadence. Thanks Mr Nicosia! Review: Post-beat honesty - A lot of insight about Jack, Neal and the rest of the beat crowd without the self absorption found in other books on this topic. Very fun read. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #3,362,553 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #6,696 in Author Biographies #14,139 in Women's Biographies #18,869 in Women's Studies (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (37) | | Dimensions | 5.25 x 0.75 x 8.5 inches | | Edition | Reprint | | ISBN-10 | 1573449555 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1573449557 | | Item Weight | 10.4 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 244 pages | | Publication date | April 2, 2013 | | Publisher | Viva Editions | ## Images ![One and Only: The Untold Story of On the Road and LuAnne Henderson, the Woman Who Started Jack Kerouac and Neal Cassady on Their Journey - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81VmlPGd3EL.jpg) ![One and Only: The Untold Story of On the Road and LuAnne Henderson, the Woman Who Started Jack Kerouac and Neal Cassady on Their Journey - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61nfjT3NqqL.jpg) ![One and Only: The Untold Story of On the Road and LuAnne Henderson, the Woman Who Started Jack Kerouac and Neal Cassady on Their Journey - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31YFLc6gbnL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What a cool book *by A***R on November 27, 2021* I had no idea this existed until I stumbled across it on the Kindle app - perhaps an algorithm related my interest in the Beat era. I consider this to be a gem of a book, I'm so grateful to have found it and read it. LuAnne was so very insightful about people. I wish I could hear clips of her interviews so I could listen to her accent & cadence. Thanks Mr Nicosia! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Post-beat honesty *by J***N on January 9, 2014* A lot of insight about Jack, Neal and the rest of the beat crowd without the self absorption found in other books on this topic. Very fun read. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The (Mostly) Untold Story.... *by S***N on January 13, 2016* I thoroughly enjoyed this book. After finishing "On The Road", I was left wondering what became of the women that were in the novel. Plenty could be found on Carolyn Cassady, but Lu Anne was still a mystery. She struck me as the more interesting of the two, and after finishing Gerald's bio, I think that is definitely the case. She really did live a colorful life, though not one I would have been comfortable in. She seemed like a beautiful person, inside and out. I agreed with the other reviewer when he said that the author tended to sweep misdeeds or questionable behaviors under the rug. I am assuming it was because he had the daughter helping with some of the research, as well as a need to protect the kind Lu Anne from public scrutiny. I personally believe she was a prostitute on more than one occasion, though I do not think that is a big deal. I also didn't believe she would have had some happily ever after with Jack Kerouac, nor that she was particularly into any man other than her beloved Neal. I would have liked to hear more about the stepfather, who was rather inappropriate towards Lu Anne. Got the impression that Ann Marie had a good relationship with him, and perhaps that why Gerald didn't "go there". A very informative and intriguing read, over all. The movie "On the Road" didn't get a lot of good reviews, but I will have to watch it just the same, as the author got me curious about it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/12989135-one-and-only-the-untold-story-of-on-the-road](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/12989135-one-and-only-the-untold-story-of-on-the-road) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
