This is the true story of a young woman who sets out across the continent on wild freight trains in search of beauty, freedom and adventure. There is weather, wind, and peril; she becomes hopelessly lost; she lives for days in magical, forgotten forests; there is dehydration and loneliness; there are other human beings, impossibly brilliant, who shine like bright stars in the dark and endless universe.

Riding freight trains- the last great American adventure! This is a story for anyone who has ever wanted to ignore the rules and find the real edges of what is and is not possible. This is a story for those who have dreamed of hopping freight trains. This is a story of freight train travel, of hitchhiking, of adventure; but it is also a story of the search for meaning and connection in a sometimes stark and empty land.
