When his third wife abandons him in Tucson, boozing, misanthropic anarchist Henry Holyoak Lightcap shoots his refrigerator and sets off in a battered pick-up truck for his ancestral home in West Virginia. Accompanied only by his dying dog and his memories, the irascible warhorse (a stand-in for the "real" Abbey) begins a bizarre cross-country odyssey--determined to make peace with his past--and to wage one last war against the ravages of "progress."

Henry Lightcap, a life scarred 60's something man, loads his ailing, cancerous dog in his truck and drives 3500 miles back to his roots in the foothills of Appachalian Mountains and along the way lays bare to the reader the the highs and lows of his eventful life, one he lived on his terms.
This book is a laugh out loud, cry your eyes out sad reading experience. It is indeed a beauty of a book.
