New York Times bestselling author Isaac Fitzgerald embarks on a year-long journey across the American heartland, retracing the legendary path of Johnny Appleseed from Massachusetts to Indiana. What begins as a childhood fascination transforms into a profound reckoning with themes of loss, grief, ritual, and faith. Along the way, Fitzgerald experiences both the harsh realities of the road, including hostile environments and uncomfortable encounters, and the unexpected warmth of generosity from strangers. This moving blend of memoir, history, and travelogue offers an ode to the American heartland and a meditation on escaping the relentless pace of modern life. He delves into the myths—often violent, sometimes hopeful, and frequently romanticized—that form the core of American identity and history. The book is a raw and honest exploration of what it means to search for meaning and belonging, confronting illusions about America, freedom, and escape. Through his journey, Fitzgerald challenges readers to question stories they've been told and to consider what truly matters in life. It is a stirring, singular entry in the American road trip genre, rich with curiosity and deep compassion.
