"Roads Less Traveled: Visionary New England Lives," by John Walters.
In the course of his work as a writer and radio personality, John Walters has interviewed some of the most extraordinary people in New Hampshire and Vermont. For this book, he has written extended profiles of some of his very favorite people.
Walters, creator and former host of New Hampshire Public Radio's "The Front Porch," writes on the breadth and richness of human experience, and the indomitability of the human spirit.
