The Silver Cord

"There is something good in having less than you want but enough for your needs..."

A young man's journey across the United States during the 1970s-on a quest to find the meaning of life-is shared in this beautifully written memoir.

The coming-of-age story explores the questions many ask while in their youth: Do I fit in? Am I loved? Do I have true friends? What is my calling in life? The storyline is the highway's allure: adventure, the American people, scenic vistas of woodlands, prairies, plains, deserts, forested Appalachians, snow-peaked Rockies. The land, the people, the human heart, give their answer to life.

No matter where you are in life, young or old, you'll find solace on these pages and the strength needed to move forward. The account of one man's ups and downs-in search of truth-serves as a guide to anyone. And what he discovers is profound, yet simple-and attainable for all.
