An added feature of the new addition is the info-packed companion CD, which includes job-finding tips and success techniques as well as 13 more articles by Jaimie Hall.

Roads
from the Ashes: An Odyssey in Real Life on the Virtual
Frontier,
by Megan Edwards If you're at one of life's transition points and thinking about making a go of life on a roll, this book offers a vivid and entertaining look inside one couple's experiences. For many people, making the decision to "hit the road" comes at a transitional phase in life: a divorce, a health challenge, retirement. For Edwards and her husband Mark Sedenquist (RoadTrip America's founders), the transition arrived in the form of a wildfire that consumed their house and all their possessions. Seizing the "opportunity" to follow their dreams led the pair on a journey all over America as well as on an inspiring odyssey into new careers. If you're still in the "thinking about it" stage, this book is a must-read. |

Whether you're a novice or an experienced road warrior, this is one book you should not be without! |
