Nomadic Devotion Books

Jake Kaida is a man on the move. 

He travels the lower 48 states and parts of Canada in search of work and spiritual fulfillment. 

And he sets some of the tales of his travels down in the book Blue Collar Nomad

The book comes with a CD of music by Matthew Tavis Johnson, a pianist and composer. 

Both men join us in the studio to talk about the project.
