Why You Need This Book . . . Why does a young man abandon everything to head out on the highway? Where will it take him? Using the road as a metaphor, the author reveals the discoveries of a life that took off like a rocket when he followed that inner urging and hit the road. Withdrawn because of a strict, and impersonal father, this intensely creative teenager launched himself into the strange and exciting world of the traveling big top circus. Developing the mindset of an entertainer, he found harmony with horses, and personal expression as a sign painter. He learned rare skills in an itinerate culture that would benefit him his entire life. Yet, hitting bottom as an alcoholic brought everything to a screeching halt. This On the Road memoir shows how the author evolved into a premier producer of airbrushed murals, gold leaf monograms, and delicate hand painted artwork and pinstriping motorcycles. The surprise twists and turns of life lead to anger, pain, and disappointment, but ultimately to love and restoration. These coming-of-age stories celebrate the transformation from the disfunction and trauma of the past, to the joy and fulfillment that result from unexpected encounters and experiences. Every life is different, but chances are you can relate to: -- The father who causes anger and frustration-- A disturbing family dynamic-- The boy who withdraws from friends because of embarrassment-- Feelings of inadequacy and rebellion-- Life as a misfit-- The decision to runaway in order to find oneself. Read about the excitement, adventure, and danger of traveling and performing with the circus. The secret world of imagination caused by the turbulence between father and son. A series of influential people who touched the life of a young man, giving him courage and direction. What is it like to hit bottom as an alcoholic, and find yourself forced to make some hard decisions? Is it even possible to discover true meaning in life, and reach a point of happiness? Today Letterfly is a renowned artist, speaker, and spiritual seeker in the modern world of gigabytes, impulsive distractions, and emerging societal insanity. Take a journey with Artist Extraordinaire Dave Letterfly Knoderer, a man who was broken in many ways, yet managed to find a path towards the light. The conclusion is one of hope and enlightenment that will leave you wondering about your own trek down the Road of Life.
