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.

for natural foods long before they hit the mainstream.

to help others with TBIs, and opened an activity center for TBI
