This is the story of a woman who went on an incredible journey. Carolyn Fox was a single mother and lawyer haunted by grief and secrets and facing her fiftieth birthday. So she decided to change her life by facing her fears: she bought a Harley, packed it with a sleeping bag and tent, and set out to ride through all fifty states alone! Soul Rider is her gripping travel/journey memoir, written by a successful woman who realized she would have to make significant changes in the way she lived and thought if she ever had a chance to find peace and wholeness.

Soul Rider will inspire readers to:

  • Believe they can improve the quality of their lives by stepping outside their comfort zones
  • Find the courage to ask for forgiveness first by forgiving others and then by forgiving themselves
  • Recognize that loneliness can be overcome simply by being the first to say Hello
  • Learn that it's okay to admit failures, fears, and guilt. Stuff happens to everyone. Confront those things and discover how quickly personal empowerment flows.

Along the way, Carolyn traveled alone but met colorful characters, received positive media attention, discovered who she was, and put more than 14,000 miles on her bike. She kept a journal of her adventures, and the result is Soul Rider.

It’s Not What You Think It Is — It’s Better!

I admit I bought this book because I wanted a woman’s perspective. Carolyn not only did that, she went way past a mere “how I toured America on a Harley” pulp to deliver a true gripping tale of her coming to terms with her life, with men, with riding, with storms (OK, she never did learn her lesson there), and most of all, with fear. She’s honest, funny, but sometimes a tad too philosophical. Halfway into the book I started thinking of her as a female Bob Higdon. Both are “recovering attorneys,” both love to ride alone, both can write, and both have a gift of seeing people in their best, and worst, light and putting that light to paper. I took away one star because the ending came too quick, as in “here we are 2/3rds of the trip complete and I made it home and found happiness and — The End. What? Huh? That said, get the book. Read it, enjoy it, whether you are make or female, rider or non-rider, happily married or bitterly divorced. You will get a lot out of Carolyn’s writing.

Thought I was buying a book about a motorcycle trip. Instead I got a book about a woman bleating, bawling and blubbering about a bunch of personal crap. Complete waste of money
