Wes's review of Blue Highways: A Journey into America
Blue Highways: A Journey into America by William Least Heat-Moon
Engaging story told by a man, in the midst of a great deal of struggle, who decides to load up his Ford van and hit the road. His journey is one where he, more or less, circles the Unitesd States. Unlike many, he is not running away from his life. He is stepping into his life. He decides to drive the "blue" highways of America. On old maps the "blue" highways are the back roads...the roads less travelled. In driving these roads, he finds his way with the help of people and places. Not only does he travel the "blue" highways of America; he also travels the "blue" highways of the soul. Roads that most people never drive. This is not only a thought-provoking book, but also a laugh-out-loud funny book that beckons us all to live life abundantly now.
