The BEST things in life aren't things!

Megan Edwards is the true Phoenix risen from the ashes - NOT just her unusual vehicle. I was at the meeting she attended just two days after the fire. She'd lost everything, yet even then she knew that it was a great, and rare, opportunity to do whatever she could dream with no restrictions - no excess baggage.You will paint vivid color images in your mind from Megan's lyrical writing. The challenge lies to NOT laugh out loud or NOT find yourself wiping tears from your cheek as Megan describes the good times AND the not-so-good times. She philosophically understands that to reach the real truth and the absolute freedom of your dreams, you must synthesize all times - good, bad, happy, sad - all of them part of the enlightenment ahead.

A wonderfully written inner and outer journey.

The only regret I have regarding this book is that I've finished it. What a wonderful read it is. I very much enjoy a story that encompasses not only the actual physical happenings, but the storytellers personal transformation. The journey within the journey. This book is that kind of tale... it makes me long not only for the open road, but the inner vistas that accompany such a challenging, and potentially rewarding, experience. Thank you Megan, Mark, and Marvin.

A really excellent read! Don't miss this! Haunting.

To all of you who have ever embarked on a road trip, large or small or dreamed of one, these stories will capture you. I am reminded of "The Martian Chronicles". There are dreams here, merged to reality. Here is an adventure of soul and faith and even Love. Just be glad that such a talented story teller like Megan Edwards brought it to you from the real and virtual world.Ed Bramlett

Wow, what a gem (both the book and the people who wrote it)

Wow! What a read! I got more than I bargained for with Roads from the Ashes. I expected a light-hearted travel log, which, in part, it is (and an absolutely delightful one, at that). What I didn't anticipate was Megan's thought-provoking observations on the world of work, relationships, possessions, and our very purpose as we pursue life's highways and byways. This book touched me in so many ways. It made me want to do more, go more, see more, and be more. It made me put my "stuff" in perspective. It made me think about the "boundarylessness" that the Internet affords us. It made me feel as though I've personally toured the country with Megan and Mark and their faithful dog Marvin. Megan is a wondrous writer . . . her word pictures are as clear and alive as a multimedia postcard. I gobbled up half of the book in one sitting, then carefully rationed myself the remainder, knowing I would be sad to say my farewells when the last page arrived. But, thanks to the wonders of technology, I didn't have to say good-bye . . . instead, I logged on to roadtripamerica.com! I now have two new cyber-friends whose travels and lives inspire me to do more, go more, see more, and be more. You will, too, when you buy this book!
