It describes this close-knit group, known as the New Road Map Foundation, through the eyes of one of its members. It is the story of the author's profound inner journey as well as an evocation of the life of a community dedicated to love and service during its years of maturity and dissolution. The memoir offers relevant insights for those who aspire to live in community and for those who are drawn to living a simple, highly intentional life.
