WHEN THE ROAD DISAPPEARS

There are moments in life when our comfortable day-to-day existence collides with a realization, a decision, or an experience that makes us question our purpose and what it is all for.

Climb in the Jeep and join Jennifer as she navigates the less traveled landscapes of America and gain comfort in knowing that even when the road seems to disappear, you are never truly alone, and a new journey may have just begun.

*Many generous and patient individuals went the extra mile from the moment I embarked on this journey in late 2017, and until these pages were ready for the world. The road disappeared over and over again, and I wanted to give up at every turn. However, there was a core group of people who made it impossible to give up too soon. Each a bright light on my darkest days.

Choosing to be brave or to maintain an indomitable spirit during challenging times may be a solo decision. However, we don’t have to navigate disappearing roads alone. Community empowers those who choose an unlikely path to achieve remarkable things.

To those who know, thank you for seeing what I could not see, and reminding me I can do hard things. Which means, reader, you can, too! ~ Jennifer Langille / Author of When The Road Disappears


KIND WORDS FROM EARLY READERS

“Inspiration is the overwhelming theme of this book. You’re inspired by Jennifer’s desire to take an adventurous road trip across the country in search of greater life fulfillment through the telling of stories of those who’s lives have been affected by cancer. Then you are inspired further by the stories themselves which Jennifer tells from a very personal place. Also, the photographs from this road trip are both touching and breathtaking. They are the perfect counterpart to Jennifer’s passion and desire to tell the stories of the wonderful people she met along the way. Great read!” ~ Michael C

Through the highs of overcoming obstacles, both through Jennifer's journey and the stories of the cancer patients, to the lows of loss, despair, and seemingly dead ends, she brings us along for the adventure. Sometimes when life seems to be at it's most difficult, opportunities present themselves, or are discovered, and the new road can take you to even greater joys than was first imagined. Buckle up, drop it into 4 wheel drive, and get ready to go on a coast-to-coast expedition.” ~ Jim S
