This is the story of a woman's search to find her children and the unlikely alliance she forms with their kidnapper as they make an epic journey across the Great Plains of Kansas and Colorado.

Albert Einstein once said, "To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new angle, requires creative imagination and marks real advance in science."

That truth has been proven again and again throughout human history, as great interviewers from Bob Costas to Barbara Walters have captivated audiences and ignited imaginations. In a world where the messages of public figures and politicians are carefully crafted by publicists and media consultants, we often receive only partial pictures and manipulated facts. The right questions uncover truths we might not otherwise know. They pull back the curtain on the wizard and give us a more accurate view of reality. --Excerpt from the Introduction If you could sit down with the people you most admire and ask just one question, what would you ask?
