Summer of 1977

This memoir chronicles Freedline's more than 9,000-mile, four-and-a-half-month road trip that began and ended in Indiana, Pennsylvania, in the summer of 1977. It was a journey that took him across a continent replete with natural wonders, quaint towns, and unforgettable people. Freedline not only discovered that he had the inner resources to overcome the past and complete any endeavor he started, but he found that the cold, cruel world that others professed to see did not actually exist.

Much more than a travelogue, "Summer of 1977"demonstrates how one man's dream served as the impetus for finding the courage to attend college, earn a degree, and motivate others to improve their lives.
