Charles James should be dead. The Chicago celebrity missed the plane that crashed in flames, killing everyone aboard. Now the world thinks he perished while he walks Route 66 under a new identity. Money and fame never brought him happiness. The last time he felt truly content was during his marriage to Monica, before his ambition destroyed their relationship. Charles continues his pilgrimage from Amarillo toward Santa Monica, even after learning Monica plans to marry someone else. His original mission crumbles, but the road still holds lessons he must learn. Each mile brings him closer to understanding what he truly seeks. The journey will reveal whether Charles can find his way back to the man he once was, or discover someone entirely new.
