Quote by Michael ONeill

“Home is not a physical place; not a structure comprised of four walls and a roof over your head. Home is a feeling…a state of mind…and you can take it out on the road with you, wherever you may travel.”

“This is, ultimately, a book about home. [...] I hope this book carries you somewhere magical. I hope it lets you feel ocean breezes in your hair and smell spilled beer on a karaoke bar’s floor. And then I hope it brings you back. That it brings you home, and fills you with ferocious gratitude for the people you love. Because, really, it’s less about the places we go than the people we meet along the way. But most of all, it’s about the ones who stay, who become home.”
