Bicyle Adventures Book #2
PAULA'S REVIEW:
This book is a raw and honest look at a bicycle road trip by Lauren, a forty-two year old woman who served in a foreign orphanage for years, and Doug, a retired widower. They are both Christians and encourage each other along the way as bike buddies. The book is also an inside look at the struggles that Lauren has with her fiancé Jeffery and what each really wants out of their relationship.
The trip was full of beautiful scenery but also dangers from the elements, the wildlife and some scary biker dudes.
*Trigger Warning- the scenes at the Golden Prairie Indian Reservation are traumatic. But Laura and Doug meet some wonderful people there and at other stops along the way.
The characters and situations were realistic, although Lauren made some unwise choices, and the outcome was anything but predictable. I enjoyed this road trip story and the lessons that the characters learned about their faith and their lives.
*I won a complimentary copy of this book from the author through Library Thing. I was not required to post a favorable review. All opinions are mine alone.*5 stars and a solid faith thread
Two wounded hearts. Long, winding roads. And second chances neither saw coming.
Lauren Baumgartner pedals toward Yellowstone National Park, anticipating a grand celebration when she reaches the Atlantic Ocean. But when her wedding plans collapse, old wounds resurface—and a haunting secret still holds her heart hostage.
Traveling alone with bear spray and a one-woman tent, she shares the highway with motorcyclists bound for a massive rally, including gang members who eye her as theirs for the taking.
Doug Zimmer, another lone cyclist, is grappling with loss and wondering if anyone will be alongside him when he figures out what’s next. He isn’t the only one drawn to Lauren’s vitality and spirit.
But Lauren may already be in too deep. What she faces on the Golden Prairie Indian Reservation tests her courage—and her faith—more than anything she encountered as a missionary in Uganda.
A woman with a secret and a man healing from loss pedal the rugged roads of the American West on a quest for love and purpose that leads to unexpected horizons.
Fiction that matters.
