About this listen
Conversations Across America is about the father-son journey of a lifetime: a 73-day, 4,600-mile, cross-country bike trip Kari took in 2015 with his 75-year-old dad, Merv, who had early stage Alzheimer’s. Their adventure reminds us of the power of perseverance and adaptability in the face of uncertainty. It’s also a heartwarming example of listening and discovery, including 300 short conversations with people who approached them along the way, providing a rich snapshot of America--especially rural America.
Conversations is a mix of Blue Highways, Tuesdays with Morrie, and Humans of New York…on a bike. As you listen, you can’t help but reflect on your relationship with your own father and children while gaining perspective on Alzheimer’s—which now afflicts more than six million Americans—getting a sense of the TransAmerica Bike Trail and America itself. Above all, you will be inspired to seize the day with someone you love—whatever that means to you.
Please note that the audiobook does not contain the separate 300 conversations, only the two or three dozen that are embedded in the narration.
