JRW (Robert) Case is a Buckeye by birth who now lives in Denver, Colorado, with his wife and partner, Marceil. When his bicycling journey across the USA began during the summer of 2017, the author did not yet realize all that he would be treating.

This travelogue adventure includes a quest for values and the tragic massacre of Columbine in 1999 with its profound and pervasive implications. Robert worked then as a child protection attorney with a personal connection with one of the Columbine victims and deep ties to a community. He and his family lived nearby, and their lives would forever change.

Once the author's children were grown and gone into their own lives, he began to make room for hours of journaling each day. These seeds would grow into essays and into this book establishing JRW Case as a bicycle poet-warrior of the literary world.
