In GABETOUR, author Gabriel Adels carries his readers with him as he bicycles across the United States, one year after a car accident that broke his femur and killed his beloved brother, Jonah. In a rare combination of narrative and music, Adels tells his energetic story of healing through adventure and songwriting. The work of grief demands we accept great loss and sadness; GABETOUR’s sure strength is in its unabashed willingness to explore this pain through the healing balm of creative commitment. Through it, Adels discovers new degrees of joy, confusion, and insight. There are no easy answers here; rather, GABETOUR evokes the wholehearted courage to heal by being fully alive.
