"A thrilling, tender, utterly absorbing book. With winning candor,
Jedidiah Jenkins takes us with him as he bicycles across two
continents and delves deeply into his own beautiful heart. We
laugh. We cry. We feel the glory and the agony of his adventure;
the monotony and the magic; the grace and the grit. Every page of
this book made me ache to know what happened next. Every chapter
shimmered with truth. It's an unforgettable debut."-Cheryl Strayed,
author of Wild and Tiny Beautiful Things
