Searching for A Way Home is an off-the-road exploration of American life and family history. Veteran essayist and journalist Stephen J. Lyons takes readers to the fringes of society through his own experiences, whether sampling the exploits of an Elvis imitator in Florida, partying with a rowdy cowboy in Colorado, slacking with old-timers in an Oregon hotel, failing at farming in the Midwest, dodging his demons as a boy in Chicago, or simply contemplating his permanent liminal space in a Wal-Mart parking lot. Self-effacing, reflective, and universal in approach, this award-winning author also shows the beauty in his mother's last days, and how a drifter and a dreamer finally found a home in the least expected place.
