Summary

Roberson examines Americans' obsession with freedom, travel, and the open road. To fill her own sense of adventure, she quit her day job and set off on a Great American Road Trip to visit America's national parks. Along the way she met new friends on their own quests, learned to cope with abstinence while missing the comforts of home, and came to understand the limits-- and possibilities-- of going to nature to prove to yourself (and your Instagram followers) that you are, in fact, free. -- adapted from jacket
