Bookroo's summary

Two friends set out to meet in Fitchburg, each choosing a unique journey. As they travel thirty miles, their contrasting approaches to life lead to surprising adventures. Will their paths converge as planned, or will the journey change them forever?

From the publisher

Inspired by a passage from Henry David Thoreau’s WALDEN, this wonderfully appealing story follows two friends who have very different approaches to life. When the two agree to meet one evening in Fitchburg, which is thirty miles away, each decides to get there in his own way and have surprisingly different days.
