A precocious boy narrates his adventures hitchhiking across America with his
vagrant, deadbeat dad. Despite their peculiar, often dysfunctional life, this
father and son shared an abiding love and a real sense of adventure. From homeless
missions to AA meetings, from his father's constant search for a job, to dreaming
of the next, better place, the author spent his childhood far outside convention.
He shows that the journey can be more powerful than the destination.
