Bolstered by the darkness, the fresh night air, and the flickering flames, Al approaches Ellen, a recently divorced woman who's caught his eye. Inspired by the author's own life, this romantic adventure takes you on a startling journey of love, loss, and redemption as Al and Ellen struggle to trust that they can be loved, flaws and all. From Arizona to Mexico, theirs is a bizarre road marked with paranoia, very real danger, humor, and hope. This unforgettable story reminds you that heroes come in all shapes and sizes and that courage is not a lack of fear, but the ability to act in spite of fear.
