A decade ago, Randy Elrod created a live experience (a rite of passage) called "The Quest" for people age 35 and over. Since then, he has guided Quest experiences in New Mexico and Tennessee with participants from all walks of life. While there is nothing like attending it in person, the hope is that this book will become a well-worn guide map for one’s journey into second life. The path of "The Quest" is a unique journey, and no two ways are alike. The many options can be disorienting, but there are universal waypoints that guide one to find the wisdom needed to make this journey.

From bellbottoms and Bible camp to a career center stage, this beautifully written, heartfelt memoir, written in the style of Mark Twain, is both a coming of age and American success story. The first person in his family ever to graduate high school, Elrod made the unprecedented decision to leave his redneck region behind-the coalmines and poverty of Appalachia-and seek, instead, something more from life.

Author Randy Elrod knows what it’s like to have your whole life blow up in 12 hours. In one day he lost most of his family, friends, and peers. His social networks and the business that provided his income became a barren wasteland. What had once felt like a stalwart tribe of people left him with almost no friends or natural support system.
