That Hidden Road

<p>On a Wednesday morning in May of 2010 42-year-old Rocco Versaci dipped the rear tire of his bicycle into the Pacific Ocean and began to pedal alone across the country. He had what he thought was a simple idea-to sort out the story of his life which had taken a couple of unexpected detours in recent years. That Hidden Road is a memoir of the two months he spent crossing the country by bike. It's a story of burning saddle sores heart-popping climbs and unleashed dogs with a taste for ankle. It's a story of America's less-traveled roads and the people who live there. And it's a story of rebuilding a life from fragments the spirit of the whole journey captured in a question most of us ask at one point or another-Can I find my way home? Blending travel writing memoir and even comics That Hidden Road-like Kerouac's On the Road William Least Heat Moon's Blue Highways and Cheryl Strayed's Wild-is an unforgettable story of being lost and found on the road in America.</p>
