"One of the best books I have read in a decade," Rick Kogan, Chicago Literary Hall of Fame, Chicago Tribune columnist, WGN Radio host
It's the story of adventure, love, death and life on the open road. It is the art of making other people happy. The author works rides and games in traveling carnivals and state fairs across the USA, hitchhiking between jumps. The deeper you read, the more you'll see. It's about America. About people seeking love and meaning on the road. It's in audiobook, ebook, print and large print.
