"Full of pathos and humor and sadness, you won't reach the end of this book without feeling fuller and wiser."
--PETER GEYE
Leonard Self has spent a year unwinding his ranch, paying down debts and fending off the darkening. Just one commitment left: taking his wife's ashes to her favorite overlook, where he plans to step off the cliff with her. Memories and encounters along the familiar road seem like obstacles--or they may be signs it's not his final drive after all.
