Synopsis

The young police officer stared at Karen. In a controlled voice he said, "I can see tomorrow's headlines. 'Female cyclist pedaling across the United States alone is murdered in Minnesota.' What are you trying to prove, young lady?!!" I wanted to ask him what century he was from since I knew women are doing all sorts of adventuresome activities on their own. You Who Are on the Road, tells how Karen began and completed a 10,000-mile bicycle journey around the periphery of the United States. The physical experience of bicycling serves as a metaphor for her spiritual transformation as a result of her experiences and the people she met along the way. Current times mark an upsurge of individuals seeking new ways to find meaning in their lives. Though we all pedal our own unique paths, we can learn from the experience of others as we move along our roads of life. Author William Least Heat-Moon, fellow explorer, (Blue Highways, 1982; River-Horse, 1999) wrote Karen letters offering words of wisdom and encouragement. His most emphatic suggestion--'Complete the trip' resonated in her soul many times during the thirteen-month journey. Mr. Least Heat-Moon knew from his experience that living a dream is hard work This book gently suggests ways for others to explore new territories physically, emotionally and spiritually. People looking for help in their journey through life can learn from the anecdotes told by others on the journey. Those looking for an adventure will find it in You Who Are on the Road. The true good nature of most people will bring hope to those who are cynical about our troubled times.
