About This Book

A middle-aged man leaves a settled life after a divorce and drives through New England, stopping at a monastic retreat, small towns, and childhood places. Along the way he encounters friends and strangers, relives family stories and rural memories, and attends to ordinary moments such as meals, music, and roadside idleness. The narrative balances warm humor and melancholy as the traveler reflects on aging, belonging, and the pull of landscape, seeking a modest renewal while weighing past attachments and the practical work of beginning again.
