"What Remains" is an intense first-person road book, travel in the extreme - old man, old

motorcycle, three thousand miles of old broken roads. Mountains and deserts and small town

America, three hundred potholed miles at a time.

Out of the way characters in the empty places where they hack out an existence. The grit and

grace it takes to get by, the natural beauty that revives the old guy's affection for people as

they are.

What it takes to get old too, sunburn and ache at the end of the day, nothing left but the

attention he brings to himself and the folks having dinner at the next table. The hard-won

clarity that comes with solitude and exhaustion, the glacial attrition of age and decline - body,

brainpan, capacity to dream.

"What Remains" is a present tense account of an old man's quest out beyond the

mate seeking and resume building and family raising that dominate the mid-section of life.

How to navigate loss and diminishment, the dark certainty of death? It is a journey that

reignites a sense of adventure about aging itself, the ingredients of a rich and passionate

life.

All this and that distracting crash in Death Valley.

About the Author
Otterbacher, John Otterbacher: - When John Otterbacher talks about living out beyond your fears, he is speaking from experience. He has lived a life of extension and adventure; years in a monastery, several motorcycle tours of American, a doctorate in clinical psychology, an eight-year stint as a state representative and senator, a solo sail across the Atlantic. The heart attacks could have sidelined him, the grim prognosis. Instead of retiring to The couch, John spent a year rebuilding his health and the family sailboat, Grace. Then he and Barbara took their two youngest children on a six-year, 30,000 family odyssey that included 4 more Atlantic crossings. Their story, chronicled in his book, Sailing Grace, has been honored as Best New Non-fiction Book by the National Indie Excellence Awards and as a finalist for Best Book Award by USA Book News. John is a sought-after speaker on the role of attitude in resilience. He divides his time between consulting with clients and writing, most recently completing a travel memoir entitled What Remains.
