Jordan Rich filled in on NightSide:

Who doesn’t love a good road trip? Brendan Tibbet, a down-on-his-luck filmmaker, purchases a 1930s travel guide at a yard sale and decides to take his ten-year-old son on a two-week adventure. Following the guide, this LA to New Hampshire route covers 16 states and hits all the iconic stops along the way. Turmoil and tears are all part of the journey as Tibbet struggles to find the right time to break news to his son that will affect everything. Academy Award-winning author of On Golden Pond, Ernest Thompson, chatted with Jordan about his newest novel, Book of Maps.
