Sneedville to Kalamazoo: the Walk That Wasn't John W. Leeger

Did you ever want to really get away from it all? To leave behind work, family, friends - all the people and things you are so familiar with? To put a few essentials in a backpack, and just walk through places you've never walked before, as Heinlein would say, a stranger in a strange land? To get some experience of how and where other people live? Did you really? Neither did I. And yet, in the summer of 2007, that's exactly what I found myself doing. I struggled to take a walk I had imagined, and learned, time and again, to let go and accept the ride I was intended to take. I had to learn to let myself be led instead of leading. To see instead of watching. To listen instead of hearing. In words and pictures, this book retraces that journey.
