Publisher's summary

August Shroeder, a burned-out teacher, has been sober since his 19-year-old son died. Every year he’s spent the summer on the road, but making it to Yellowstone this year means everything. The plan had been to travel there with his son, but now August is making the trip with Philip’s ashes instead. An unexpected twist of fate lands August with two extra passengers for his journey, two half-orphans with nowhere else to go.

What none of them could have known was how transformative both the trip - and the bonds that develop between them- would prove, driving each to create a new destiny together.

Beautiful

This book was so poignant, heart wrenchingly beautiful, and a true page turner. The narration by Jeff Cummings was more than perfect. I can't put into words how beautiful this book was

Fantastic book!

I picked up the book for the daily special not expecting much. I was pleasantly surprised by the emotions this story brought out.

It's a heart warming story of strangers meeting and forming a life long bond.

I highly recommend reading this book.

What a nice story

This was a nice story. There wasn't a lot of suspense or shock value, but it was a nice feeling, good flowing story.

Perhaps for young adult

The story was good but I felt it to be a bit juvenile, thus in the wrong category. That's not to say I did not like the story or the characters, because I did. They were "good" people, though the two young boys were perhaps too perfect and not quite real. I've never met children who were so consistently good.
This story incorporates the principles of AA. If that is odious then don't listen. But if you know kids who are living in families with addiction, then this might be a perfect fit. I consider this to have a limited audience.

Slow

Slow reading of a slow book. Seems like this could have been more insightful and interesting. Very earnest, though.
