Travels on the American Road with Sean & Vince Darby Checketts

What does happiness mean in America? There does seem to be a fundamental human quest wherein each individual seeks to determine their purpose in life and to make the journey a satisfying experience. Each of us gets to be young once and, if we manage to stay healthy, each of us gets to be old once. In this book, you will be inspired by the ambition of a young man named, Sean, and you'll be reassured by the wisdom of his "senior" friend, Vince. Their two perspectives from the early years and the later years of life can represent useful bookends to hold in place your own "books of life." You will undertake a journey across 23 of the United States of America. Your future horizon will be lifted-up as Sean crosses each hill or mountain. Your perspective on life will be broadened with each new person Sean meets along the way. His contemplation of what happiness means will become as a mirror to help you reflect on "what's next" that will bring happiness for you. Sean's day-to-day excursions have historical and geographical substance. His stories are patriotic and faith-promoting. His conversations with Vince are a positive exchange about life's purposes and priorities. Shared with youth or as a family or group of friends, Sean's adventures will be great conversation starters.
