Twenty-four years have passed since Jake and Evelyn fell hopelessly
in love and ran off together, leaving behind their families and the
carnival life. Now Jake, a special forces soldier, has recently
retired from the army with a sense of pride and an insufficient
pension. Evelyn wants to return to the carnival life of their
youth. Jake firmly opposes. Struggling to suppress memories of a
rough childhood, haunting of ill-fated combat missions, and the
turmoil of fitting into civilian life, Jake falls off the edge of
rational thought. He befriends Sandy, who charms him into taking
her away from an abusive husband. In pursuit of a more exciting
life, Jake and Sandy find themselves on an unexpected quest that
reveals who he is, where he belongs, and what is really important.
The journey on his old Harley Davidson takes the reader on a
gripping adventure that passes through hostile-fire combat, an
inside look at carnival life, and across several states on the open
road, steps ahead of the law as danger mounts and climactic events
unfold.
