Readers' Reactions

I tore through the whole book in one night, staying up till about 4:00 in the morning and suffering the next day because of it.

This should be mandatory reading in senior high school or/and college seminars.

Ronaldo Hirsch

I was struck by the incredible amount of emotional drama that seemed to be present from start to finish.

Richard Hicks

...reminded me of who i was and...about who i still am. thank you.

David Franklin

It's a fascinating study of a unique community, written in an accessible voice with frequent fine flares in the prose and real insight into both self and community dynamics.

Steven Davison

There were many all too human things that still permeated the walk.... It was great seeing all the different kind acts that you wrote in.

Colin Ono-Moore

I couldn't put it down. It was so full of great insights.

Alison McLellan

Edblom is marvelously open, introspective, and observant. He shares his year-long journey across the US living within a mobile community seeking to identify and remain true to shared values. I found inspiration to keep my own journal during my current year-long journey and appreciate pondering how we can "walk the talk" of our convictions.

Sara Clark

I feel like you've given me a piece of my life back.

Mary Hofer Farris

I really did enjoy the book, and read it while bathing, while doing the dishes—pues, every free moment until I was done.

Jean Foss

The physical part seemed, in retrospect, the easy part. It was the sociological/psychological part that was sometimes so difficult, embracing so many different approaches to life and The Walk.

Whitey Lueck

The last pages brought tears to my eyes more than once.... Upon reading the first 50 pages realized I was about to understand myself and the choices I have made in the last 3 years more completely than any analyzing I had been doing.

Marie Pickett-Bailey

Wonderful memoir. I will keep in my library forever—which says a lot, because I like to "travel" light in life. I keep very few books around once I have read them.

Amy Cipra Frank

...an unflinchingly honest appraisal of where we are at with the issues you take on, while offering hope for a better future.
