    "In 1784, travel wrenched Thomas Jefferson out of the darkest period of his life. He sailed to France a broken man, but on the road, he rediscovered a world of hidden beauty and penned a guide he called "Hints for Americans Traveling in Europe." During a crisis of his own, Derek Baxter dares himself to follow Jefferson's route.
