In 2012, Lee McQueen traveled from Colorado through Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Missouri, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, and then back to Colorado to promote her latest romance novel. From Beale Street to Route 66 to the Great River Road, to Colfax Avenue--in the spirit of Jack Kerouac and Johnny Appleseed--she fell in love with the road. This collection of journal entries, blog postings, narration in retrospect, and watercolors reveals surprises on Lee's journey through Middle America.
