Pop's Place held family stories, porch swings, laughter, faith, and the certainty that I belonged.

It was the one place I could always return to.

Until I couldn't.

Its loss put words to a question I'd been silently asking for years:

Where is home now?

That question followed me back and forth along Route 66 as I tried to find my way.

The road revealed more than I expected.

Old wounds opened. Some relationships were restored. Others were not. Dirt took on new meaning. Bluebirds and rainbows appeared. And the house I thought represented everything I had loved and lost revealed a deeper truth.

Pop's Place: What Remains is a memoir of faith, forgiveness, friendship, and finding home after losing it all.
