French Roll: Misadventures in Love, Life, and Roller Skating Across the French Riviera (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781734546903)

An extraordinary tale of humor, mishaps, and unbelievable achievements on one of the most beautiful paths in Europe.

At age 19, Michael Jarvis is working in the German Alps on a ski job when a letter from his girlfriend arrives, asking him to meet her in Barcelona in a couple of months. Impulsively, he decides to roller skate the path through Southern France from Italy to Spain-alone. A close call nearly costs him his life on day one, but Michael refuses to abandon the route. He has 800 miles to go and a promise to keep...

With introspection, wit, and an infectious love of adventure, French Roll tells an epic story of traversing the French Riviera and explores pivotal moments of love and danger, the struggles from youth into adulthood, and the triumph of one person's determination to finish a journey against all odds.
