Gravel Roads: One man's quest around the world to heal, and to live a life with no regrets

Description

By thirty years old, Ryan Crain had everything he thought he wanted-a steady career, a budding relationship, and a high-rise apartment in downtown Oklahoma City. Then, an unexpected phone call he received while backpacking through Europe uprooted it all-everything that had defined him. In a desperate attempt to save his life, Ryan made a bold promise-he would use adventure to climb out of the dark trenches of his grief.

In the most mysterious of ways, this one decision would lead him to set foot on every inhabited continent during a round-the-world journey of epic proportions. From windswept beaches in Portugal and mosques in the Middle East, to street markets in Morocco and the Great Barrier Reef, through slums in Mumbai and barrios in South America, what transpired out of the chaos was a new life breathed into his heart. Ryan discovered a deep resilience, both in himself and others, on the road less traveled. In the end, this challenging and confronting journey transformed his fear of the unknown into an unending curiosity for humanity and ushered in the life he was always meant to live-one without regret.
