Route 66, the “Mother Road,” convincingly “speaks for herself” in Crystal Sershen’s new book “Dust & Dreams: Roadmap of the American Soul (A Memoir of the Mother Road, in Her Own Words).”

"Dust & Dreams" is “fiction inspired by history.”

“I echoed the paths of wagon trails, stagecoach runs, the Native American footprints laid down millennia before them – and my destiny was to connect the vital organs of the country with a new lifeblood that would transform it into one body, one nation, one people,” “Dust & Dreams” says. “I wasn’t to be just a road. I was to be a bridge between past and future, between ruin and rebirth.”

It lives for about a week after it leaves its cocoon as a moth, National Geographic said. The luna moth doesn’t eat. It plays a role in pollination, though. Luna moth – important for something.
