Farawayer

Have you ever wanted to just walk away from it all? Be completely free?

Go with Levi Terra as he does just that, hitchhiking and motorcycling through early 1980s America after he's cast out of military service and cast away by his first love.

He's disavowed strings, attachments, and becoming ensnared by the hamster wheel of life. The problem is, relationships don't come without them, and beneath it all, he wants to be loved.

Will the pull of family, his past mistakes, or the tragic event that occurs on the road upend his quest for true freedom?

Farawayer is a sweeping literary travelogue that invokes hints of Kerouac's On the Road and Salinger's Catcher in the Rye. Levi's travels explore themes around racism, religion, friendship, family, homophobia, and the true meaning of quality in the one life we're granted. It is a lyrical, philosophical journey across the beauty of a country and its people, a snapshot in time. Levi engages with truckers, cops, bikers, zealots, predators, and those in the underbelly of society, with whom he most relates.
