“Monument Road is a big-hearted novel chock full of memorable characters, a pleasure to read.”--David Rhodes, author of Jewelweed and Driftless

Leonard Self has spent a year unwinding his ranch, paying down debts, and fending off the darkening. Just one thing left: taking his wife's ashes to her favorite overlook, where he plans to step off the cliff with her into a stark and beautiful landscape. But Leonard finds he has company on a route that intertwines old wounds and new insights that make him question whether his life is over after all.
