After 18 months of following one-size-fits-all advice for a 57-year-old widow, Linda Crill was still miserable. In a moment of rebellion, she traded her corporate suits for motorcycle leathers and committed herself to a 2,500-mile road trip down America's Pacific Northwest coast riding a motorcycle. The problem she didn't know how to ride and had only 30 days to learn.
From Vancouver, Canada, to the wine country of California, this out-of-character choice became a catalyst for discovering answers to What Now? By heading into the unknown the blind curve she faced her fears, tested old beliefs, and discovered not only a broader horizon of possibilities to use in building the next phase of her life but also the fuel to make it happen.
Funny, irreverent, and extraordinarily honest, it s the perfect read for people looking for ways to reinvent themselves, and anyone asking: What now?

My thought
Linda Crill is starting a new life. She didn't volunteer to choose a new way of life. This new life is thrust upon her after her husband's death. She knows her life calls for change. She chooses to do something she's never done. She picks and buys a 500 lb. motorcyle. After learning how to drive it, she will drive around and through the Pacific Northwest. First, she has to learn how to hold this big motor baby up without dropping it, past a driver's test and learn all bikers don't wear tattoos.
Linda learned quickly how to roll with the road and leave her sadness behind.The motorcycle journey didn't solve Linda's issues and didn't fix her broken heart. But it did help her get off the road she had been on - grieving, taking care of others instead of self - and step back to reflect, breathe, and listen. She had found new strength to go ahead, new trust within herself to try new things
This book contains Clear, engaging, conversational prose.The story keeps the reader sailing around the curves.
