Jedidiah Jenkins is a bestselling author who embraces outdoor adventurer as inspiration for his beautiful and deeply personal work. When he turned 30, Jedidiah quit his job, and set out on a bike ride that took him from the Oregon coast all the way down to Patagonia. When he returned, he wrote his a memoir about his journey called, To Shake the Sleeping Self (https://www.jedidiahjenkins.com/tosh...) . In 2021, Jedidiah's wild idea involved a crosscountry road trip with his mother, where they examined their motherson dynamic, their religious and political differences, and their lasting affection for each other despite some of their opposing views. The result, his brand new book, Mother, Nature (https://www.jedidiahjenkins.com/) .
