While the stories, journey, and purpose of the novel were all well intended, the execution fell a little flat for me. I was left wishing for more details related to the journey and some more context relating the run to the flashbacks.

A big fan of this memoir. I learned a lot about the PDJ, indigenous life and pain and healing. It left me inspired. Wonderful quick read

Young college man decides to leave college and find some answers to his ancestry on a 6,000 mile marathon across North America. He needs to face harsh conditions and personalities. Returning to Washington State, he decides what to do with his life.
Part memoir, part coming of age in his 20s, this was a book about discovering our heritage and facing grim realities.

Fascinating setting and story. I love the connection to the Yakima Valley and the engagement with place throughout the book.

At first the book was a breeze. His anecdotes were lighthearted. About halfway through the book I was having trouble keeping up with all the names and places they were traveling to. It took me forever to finish the last 50-75 pages because I just lost interest.

Here I contend with the nervous reality that has pestered me all of my life, that I will always be working class. ~ Noe Alvarez
