WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING:
"This is a book to stir dreams of distant places, a remarkable journey down unknown roads of travel and self-exploration. Edwards relates the stories of their American adventures and misadventures in the compelling style of a novelist, with humor, drama and brilliant imagery.... A journey worth taking." --Al Martinez, Columnist, Los Angeles Times
"Roads from the Ashes is a travel book only in the same loose way that Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is about a motorcycle trip. Edwards will take you on a trip of personal discovery proving that both community and commercial opportunity are as close as the nearest modem." --Bill Evans, Editor, GIG Magazine
"From the mountains to Manhattan, this tapestry of life on the road weaves the best of travel, technology, survival skills, and relationships into an engaging work of art." --Library Journal
"Traveling in the Phoenix One while remaining connected through the Internet, Megan and Mark are authentic cyberpioneers." --Marcella Gauthier, Escapees Magazine
"This couple is a true inspiration, and Megan's openness to sharing the realities of this trip is refreshing." --Joanne Brickman, Woman Motorist and Savvy Motoring
"With each word you will be transported on a magical journey. Megan writes in such a descriptive style that you will hurt as the fire burns, but glow warmly with each new adventure. It is a heart-warming story of trust, faith, and success, and we all learn that the best things in life aren't things. You won't be able to put it down once you begin." --Barbara Hofmeister, author of Movin' On: Living and Traveling Full Time in a Recreational Vehicle
"Rare is the book that introduces you to people you wouldn't mind sharing the cramped quarters of an RV with; this is that rare book." --Thomas F. Marvin, Ph.D., Indiana University / Purdue University
