This week I'm featuring The Road Unveiled (Bicycle Adventure) by Tim Bishop. I'm almost at the halfway mark and am enjoying it so far!
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.

Book Beginnings / First Line Friday
The Eiffel Tower in Paris would have been more appropriate. Or floating a boat through a canal in Venice. But Lauren Baumgartner would make the most of this.
Friday 56
It had been seven months since Doug had said goodbye to his beloved Ruth. Somehow it felt much longer than it had only a month ago.
What have you been reading lately?
That's quite the adventure! I would have been happy with just the bicycle journey. ;D
ReplyDeleteMe too! It was quite eventful! Hope you have a great week, Lark! :D
DeleteThis sounds like a story with a lot of potential. Sometimes it is hard to tell from the snippets.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's difficult to tell from the snippets sometimes. This one was pretty good. It had some moments I had a hard time with though. Hope you have a great week, Anne! :D
DeleteI'm not sure if I'd like this one or not... will wait for your review...
ReplyDeleteI've been reading Graceless Heart and listening to When the Bones Sing and really enjoying both!
Those sound awesome! Glad you're enjoying them. This book was a mixed bag for me. It had its good moments, but there were some that I had a hard time with. Hope you have a great week, Lindsi! :D
