"Smithy", an overweight drunk who loses his entire family in the course of a week takes on a delightful, soul searching journey across America on a bicycle to find his dead sister. Along the way he encounters a fascinating collection of colorful characters that help him in one way or another with his unintended quest for self-discovery. Wonderful book.
