Praise for A Transcendental Journey: ""For almost everyone there is a call to adventure and, if heeded, small opportunities in the course of our lives to wiggle out of the tightly constructed worlds and obligations we have created for ourselves. Few of us heed the call, and of those who do, even fewer write about it in such a delightful way. Evans' soulful and completely intuition-driven trip through a large swath of America is a great read.""-Amanda Larson (Author, Healing from a Grandmother's Heart ""Manages to be warm, wise. and humorous at the same time. Addictively readable.""-Izzy Ballard (Author of Fearless in Alaska) ""Evans's book, with its beautiful description, poignant moments, and interesting philosophy, will resonate with any reader who has set out for new places to find something ""barely remembered, yet vaguely familiar: joy."" -Blueink Review ""A Transcendental Journey is a road-tripping travel memoir that's graced with humor, adventure, and wisdom."" -Foreword Clarion Reviews
