It is said there are three sides to every story. Your side, my side and the truth. Plus, the principle of polarity explains that opposites stem from one thing, being a place they meet in the middle – called neutral. So why do people fight for control?

There's a unique spirit to a good road trip. It contains the ability to move freely from one region to another. You can plan the destination, but who or what you encounter is unavoidable on the way. My ancestors embarked on unforgettable road trips during their lifetimes. From Ireland to Pennsylvania, New York across the Great Plains to Illinois, Maryland to Virginia, North Carolina to Tennessee. They all have stories about how they got there, ending in a place meaningful enough to make them stay – at least for a while. This story is about just one.
