After losing all he once cherished, Doug Zimmer follows his wife’s parting bread crumbs and rides up the Pacific coast—on a bicycle. Armed with a revolver and only a vague plan to get through the months ahead, he aims to end his depression one way or the other.
As spiritual forces wrangle for his soul, he pedals eastward across America. He meets Lauren Baumgartner—a younger adventurer with a vibrant spirit—and a band of zealots who confront his aversion to religion. Accompanying Doug are not only sunny days and the beauty of nature but also the perils of the road, fellow travelers with their own stories, and the hollow silence of solitary campsites playing host to unseen creatures of the night.
A jarring episode on a climb through a treacherous pass brings Doug face-to-face with life and death. Will Doug’s adventure deliver him from loneliness and lament . . . or hurtle him to an abrupt end?
My Thoughts: Tim Bishop is a brand new to me author. I found him on a book site.
I love to meet new authors through their books.
This is an intriguing story.
It merits a read since it echoes so many things and thoughts so many people go through.
Sometimes we, as people, need to understand what others are going through so that we may understand what we need to do in life.
I found Doug Zimmer a likable guy who is going through a rough patch in life.
This may the book you need to read and find out the struggles Doug faced are struggles you may be facing but there is a good answer.
