Fearing that his passion and spirit for life were dimming and worried that his family needed to escape the harsher realities of Minnesota life, Nerburn set out from the stark, frozen landscape of a northern winter to drive alone down the coastal roads of Washington, Oregon, and California.".

Road Angels is a search for home that brings us face-to-face with unexpected places and extraordinary people - a journey of profound insights about how the land we claim affects every aspect of our lives."--BOOK JACKET.
