What if you ran away, but didn't know from what? Chad is a beautifully strange, tenderly funny, and unexpectedly profound journey told through a series of letters written from the road. It's the story of one man, his bus, his dog, and the wild attempt to outrun his past while stumbling-gracefully-into something that might just be a future.From flat tires in the desert to accidental spiritual awakenings and the world's most emotionally complicated gas station encounters, Chad is equal parts road-trip diary, coming-of-middle-age story, and love letter to freedom, failure, and the people (and animals) who save us.
