Life on the road kept Abby
Steel busy.
“It was the magic that kept her on the
road. Each new place had its own set of challenges, its own set of charms. The
challenges faded, but the charms remained, decorating her memories and dangling
from her heart.” (2)
Her need to venture out and see what
the world had to offer was something I could relate to. Ah, the itching bites
of Wanderlust.
The purpose behind Steel Journeys, a motorcycle
touring company she founded, was for women like her to experience freedom. For
Abby, home was the road. The last thing she expected to get at home was a visit
from her ex-boyfriend, who cheated on her 15 years ago. On top of that, she
gets the unexpected news that he had a daughter with her former best friend,
who died recently, thus leaving him to raise a teenager all by himself. Should
Abby cry him a river now?
Before embarking on her trip to South
America, her world is infiltrated by drama, love, and resentment.
Abby is such a cool chick—spunky,
brave, and street-smart. Her solo travels are very admirable to me, making me
wish I could be more like her. Why else would Trevor want his daughter to be
around Abby? She was a strong, fearless woman, one that has been through hard
times but carried on. She was a kick-ass role model.
I also liked Kelsey, the smart and
creative teen who becomes Abby’s protégé. Again, the idea of wanting to see it
all before it’s too late is SO relatable.
Well-written
and full of emotion, story is a true testament of what strong women are made
of. Women leading women around the globe. How cool!
My rating: 4 stars
