Close Calls: Narrow Escapes Living on the Road Bruce Young

Remember all the hitch hikers in the '60s, '70s and '80s? Did you ever wonder where they were going and what it was like jumping into cars with strangers? Experience Bryce Yarborough's most harrowing moments on the road during his 10-year hitch hiking odyssey as he encounters machete-wielding drug dealers in the Rif Mountains of Morocco, struggles with the psychic snare of a religious cult, escapes the trauma of rape, survives a knife attack by a Hawaiian lapu, stares down the barrel of a forty-five, nearly freezes to death in a subzero blizzard, and more. These true stories show a man who throws his life to chance after a devastating divorce and drug overdose. Seeking to recover from unrequited love, Yarborough sets out to see the world and discover his purpose. He eagerly and naively leaps into every vehicle that stops to give him a ride. Yarborough takes the journey many have only imagined. He provides readers the chance to vicariously explore a rootless life facing the unknown. "Bryce Yarborough gives us a real page-turner: amazing, enticing, and ... I have no reason not to believe him ... true." Victoria Moran Author of Creating a Charmed Life "With action, thrills, and heart-stopping moments, Close Calls is what good movies are made of."
