About the Author

Tom Brokaw, in his best selling book The Greatest Generation, said “They came of age during the Great Depression and the Second World War and went on to build modern America -- men and women whose everyday lives of duty, honor, achievement, and courage gave us the world we have today.” Journey is the story of Charles McAvoy, whose life has embodied that description.
