But as stretches of Steinbeck's "Mother Road" were bypassed and fell into disuse, so too did most of the bustling establishments that had sprouted up from Illinois to California to cater to weary travelers and hopeful vacationers alike....

These women changed the lives of the patients they came in contact with, as well as their own lives, and helped write the history of the West....

What makes this book different from anything else you have ever read, however, is that it provides the...
