A must-read for fans of Cheryl Strayed, Elizabeth Gilbert, Robyn Davidson and others.
Never having ridden a motorcycle before, C. L. Stambush buys a Royal Enfield Bullet in a quest to prove to herself she is braver than she believes. Her five-month, 7,000-mile solo journey along the edge of India is fraught with danger and near death as she encounters ominous men, confronts culture clashes, hijras, and bandits, faces monsoons, scorching deserts, and homicidal drivers. As the months and miles roll by, she crashes her motorcycle, loses her camera, her way, and her self-control—crossing lines she never imagined possible. In the end, will her self discovery be worth the price she pays?
