I'm a bike-camper, so I'm always a sucker for bike travel logs.
But this volume is so much more.
Chris Register is on a mission to get Americans to talk to each other and not past each other. Everyday on his journey through KY, WV, VA, and NC, Chris talks to ordinary Americans.
No agenda.
A genuine listening tour. Musicians. Social Workers. Homeschoolers. Academics. Volunteer Firefighters.
If you're tired of the yelling and the screaming and just want to know what regular people think, buy this book.
