Summary

Compass is one man's journey from growing up with a single mom and finding people along the way that mold him into a man and a father. As a way of connecting with his wife and daughters, he sets a goal of throwing as much of America at them as he can. Driving, flying, hiking. Big cities, small towns. Taking them over a three year period to all 50 state capitols, every Presidential library, over 50 National Parks. Using the different parts of the county, from it's geology, to oceans, sites of tragedies and triumphs, where key moments of American history took place where their feet touch; life lessons with his daughters as they get away from noisy distractions and have the ability to listen and share with each other.

Learning about each other and themselves along the way. How to find communication in marriage when the noise subsides. Written in mostly non-fiction, but includes some historical fiction and creative non-fiction to keep the listener laughing. Some of the names have been changed as well.
