Seeking to exorcise demons both recent and enduring, Tim Herwig set out to walk from his adopted home of Chicago into the arms of friends and family 500 miles north. In this book, he describes his walking with profound observation and self-contemplation. His curiosity about, and love of, people, landscape and history shines through the book. As Tim walks, he finds that the journey is helping him heal from the trauma of teenage sexual abuse and a painful, fractured marriage.
