A university dropout quits his job for a spontaneous five-week trip to the United States. Armed with a pass that allows travel on any Greyhound bus in the country, he witnesses the majesty of Niagara Falls, cheers on the Giants in San Francisco, and hikes the Grand Canyon at sunset. But this is far from the trip of a lifetime. After coming close to suicide, it's a last-ditch attempt at giving life another chance. In a journey spanning the breadth of the country, he almost freezes to death camping in Yosemite, brushes with the law on the Mexican border, and eats a few handfuls of trail mix as daily sustenance. But through all this he receives kindness and generosity from myriad strangers who, without realising it, inspire him to keep going. Losing Sight of the Moon is a painfully honest travel memoir that is as much a celebration of humanity as an account of battling depression.
