British-born US resident, Julian Bishop, is at an inflection point. His children have left home, and he and his wife must figure out what they want to do next. They travel coast-to-coast across the USA and explore whether they truly want to be American.

"This is one of the most interesting and entertaining books I’ve read in a long time. If you don’t include the pages of postscripts there are 225 pages... with at least 225 facts that were a) very interesting unknown or long forgotten items about my country (yes, I’m American) b) things that I love being shared or explored with others outside my country, or c) just general facts that I read out loud to my husband. Approximately every 4th comment made him say “Is that true??”. Of course he checked. They were. "
