Of Turtles and Dust Clouds

What do you do when you've run out of plans?
In the summer of 2011, Doug had nothing left to lose. With everything he owned strapped to a donated bicycle, he pointed the front wheel toward Montana—a place he'd never seen and knew only from an unemployment map.
The miles that followed would bring exhaustion, doubt, unexpected friendships, strangers whose kindness arrived at exactly the right moment, and a growing realization that the journey wasn't really about getting to Montana at all.
Honest, often humorous, and deeply human, Of Turtles and Dust Clouds is a memoir about homelessness, recovery, resilience, and the quiet grace that sometimes meets us one mile, one ride, and one stranger at a time.
