What happens when two college students decide to leave behind the routine of campus life and hit the open road with little money, few plans, and a hunger for adventure? Riding Shotgun takes readers on a wild, unpredictable journey across America alongside Kirby and his larger-than-life friend George 'Wildman' Holiday. Leaving behind Boulder and the pressures of college, the two friends set out in an aging Catalina, traveling through snow-covered mountains, desert highways, Southern college towns, Gulf Coast beaches, and the neon world of Florida. Along the way, they encounter unforgettable characters, unexpected dangers, romantic complications, reckless decisions, and moments of freedom that permanently change the way they see themselves and the world around them.A Wild Cross-Country Adventure: Follow Kirby and George as they travel from Colorado through Las Vegas, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida before making their way back to Boulder.An Unforgettable Friendship: Experience the complicated bond between two very different friends whose loyalty, arguments, adventures, and shared experiences hold the journey together.Danger, Romance & Rebellion: From fights and risky encounters to complicated relationships, college rebellion, drugs, nightlife, and unexpected romantic pursuits, every destination brings something new.A Journey of Self-Discovery: Beneath the humor and chaos is a young man’s search for freedom, identity, courage, belonging, and a clearer understanding of adulthood.More than a story about highways and destinations, Riding Shotgun is a portrait of youth at the edge of adulthood. Kirby observes America through the windshield while trying to understand friendship, love, fear, responsibility, and his own place in the world. George’s restless nature and dangerous past push the journey into unpredictable territory, while Kirby’s reflections reveal the emotional cost and excitement of stepping outside the safe boundaries of college life. From the strange characters encountered along the road to the quiet moments of loneliness between adventures, every mile becomes part of a larger coming-of-age experience. Funny, raw, unconventional, and filled with the spirit of the open road, Riding Shotgun invites readers to climb into the passenger seat and experience a journey that neither Kirby nor George will ever forget.
