Roads Less Traveled tells the life stories of some truly remarkable people -- people whose lives are full of passion and purpose. They have devoted themselves to a career, an art form, an idea, or a cause.   They have literally taken their own "road less traveled." Their stories  testify to the breadth of human creativity, and the strength of the human spirit.  I met these people through my work as a radio host and magazine writer. This book allows me to tell their stories in full, without the limitations of airtime or word counts.  Profile subjects include:   Mighty Sam McClain of Newmarket, a soul singer who battled through decades of poverty and substance abuse, and continues to pursue his craft.  Bob McQuillen, a composer and performer of New England contra dance music, a fixture in the field for over 60 years.  Beatrice Trum Hunter, a pioneering writer on nutrition and health who advocated for natural foods long before they hit the mainstream.  David Krempels, survivor of a traumatic brain injury who created a foundation to help others with TBIs, and opened an activity center for TBI survivors in Portsmouth.  Courtney Haase, a former Catholic nun who left the convent and became a goat farmer and maker of artisan cheese.  Jane Bernhardt of Exeter. An actor, writer, and artist who has explored some of the most profound human experiences through her multi-media work.    John Walters is a writer, editor and voice artist from East Montpelier, VT. He was the creator and host of "The Front Porch" on New Hampshire Public Radio. He won the 2009 Donald M. Murray Journalism Award, given by the New Hampshire Writers Project. Roads Less Traveled is his first book.
