But to adman Richard Clewes--caught emotionally unawares in the brutal and raw aftermath of his wife's suicide, finding a new way to live meant leaving the safe confines of a familiar life and embarking on a physical--and a spiritual--quest. Thus began a six-month round-the-world sojourn--armed with not much else but his grief, his confusion, and a sketchpad.
