Open Road

By Jan Leven

Book Overview

What if the only way forward is to leave everything behind?

After a brutal divorce leaves him with nothing but a Porsche and a pile of regrets, Miles Lee is ready to disappear. Drawn back into the orbit of Sal-a radical hacker activist with a history that won't let go, and meeting June, a runaway survivor with secrets of her own, the three embark on a spontaneous road trip across the American West. Along the way, the trio's journey becomes a raw search for connection, forgiveness, and the courage to begin again.

From Oakland rooftops to desert motels, abandoned utopias to the sun-bleached highways of California, Open Road is a lyrical, fiercely honest novel about the families we choose, the ghosts we carry, and the messy, beautiful work of becoming whole. As Miles, Sal, and June confront the wreckage of their pasts and the realities of a country in turmoil, they discover that healing isn't a destination-it's a road you travel together, one mile at a time.

For readers who crave stories about connection, courage, and starting over, this novel is a road map for anyone brave enough to find their way home.
