"An ideal guidebook to facing the inevitable." Foreword Reviews

After her brother died unexpectedly and her mother moved into a dementia-care facility, spiritual travel writer and Episcopal deacon Lori Erickson felt called to a new quest: to face death head on, with the eye of a tourist and the heart of a pastor. Blending memoir, spirituality, and travel, Near the Exit examines how cultures confront and have confronted death, from Egypt's Valley of the Kings and Mayan temples, to a Colorado cremation pyre and Day of the Dead celebrations, to Maori settlements and tourist-destination graveyards. Erickson reflects on mortality "the ways we avoid it, the ways we cope with it, and the ways life is made more precious by accepting it "in places as far away as New Zealand and as close as the nursing home up the street. Throughout her personal journey and her travels, Erickson helps us to see that one of the most life-affirming things we can do is to invite death along for the ride.

Not true to size
Size: 8, Color: (100) White/Pomegranate/Rush Red
The shoes are beautiful, same as the picture. Super comfortable and very lightweight, but wait to big, I’m a size 8 and bought a size 8 as usual, I never had any problem with the UA shoes before, this shoes are about 2 inches bigger on my feet. I will return them and order probably a size 6 & 7 to see which one fit better. That’s the only reason I’m not giving a 5 starts!!!!

Great fit, support and quality
Size: 6.5, Color: (101) White/White/Metallic Silver
I bought as a gift for my wife, she loves everything about them, the fit, support, and quality. These are to replace a pair of Under Armor shoes that served her well and lasted a long time.

Not a fashion statement, but the best for my feet
I’ve had these for a year & alternate between these & a pair of Nikes & they’re still in great shape. I tried just about every brand in my hunt for walking/light jogging sneakers, and for me, these were by far the most comfortable, even over $160 New Balances & expensive Diadora & ASICS…Adidas Ultraboost etc. Every foot is different - for me, different shoes press against the inner foot bone uncomfortably, and there’s no issue with that here. The sole is thick & cushiony which I find supportive, and my feet don’t feel overly compressed. There is a nice little bounce which each step. True to size. I’d recommend.

Amazing walking sneakers
Size: 9.5 Wide, Color: (001) Black/Black/White, Size: 9.5 Wide, Color: (001) Black/Black/White
Excellent purchase. The size was absolutely correct; they fit my feet perfectly without needing to order a different size. They're also incredibly comfortable from the first wear, ideal for everyday use as well as long walks. The quality feels very good, and the design is exactly as pictured. I would definitely buy them again.
