Award wining author Kurt Philip Behms third novel, Searching For Crazy Horse, is the seminal work of a forty-year search for the truth within himself. While touring the Rocky Mountains by motorcycle since 1967, he started to hear a voice from deep inside himself talking to him, and saying things that at first he could not understand. The great Crazy Horses words were confusing when first spoken, but once heard clearly, they allowed the author to break through his own limitations, and finally set himself free. Ride with them together, as they travel the high mountains along the spine of the Great Divide. You will come away with a better understanding of what it meant to be truly free, in a time when the American landscape was big enough to hold all of ones imagination within its heart. And where the true magic within a dream, was in dreaming it together.
