FEATURING: THE RIDE OF HER LIFE: The True Story of a Woman, Her Horse, and Their Last-Chance Ride Across America by Elizabeth Letts
In 1954, embarking on an impossible journey, a penniless 63 year old Maine farmer, Annie Wilkins, with no family, was given two years to live. But Annie wanted to see the Pacific Ocean before she died. This is the inspiring story of Annie crossing America on her horse Tarzan with her dog Depeche Toi, and experiencing the kindness of people.
---Elizabeth Letts
What is so appealing about this nutball adventure is that the reader is taken on a trip across the United States, small town by small town, during a radical shift from rural America (where in some locales, horses and buggies are still in use) to the modern automobile-determined landscape.
