A moving, beautifully rendered chronicle of the author's life-changing, solo cross-country motorcycle trip across America--during which she discovered the land, its people, and herself "Driving a motorcycle is a sensual, visceral, and immediate experience. It's the blast of air parting in an almost physical way around your body. It's the taste of wet grass, deep woods, damp river banks, and freshly cut hay that finds its way to the back of your throat. You know and experience what is around you, and feel the very sensation of motion itself, in a way that you never can behind the wheel of a car." Lone Wolf is one woman's account of riding her motorcycle from New Jersey to Alaska and back. Realizing that years of work and travel abroad had made her a stranger in her own country and having contacted her biological family for the first time, Karen Larsen set out on a 15,000-mile back-roads journey with only the barest essentials and Lucy, her intrepid motorcycle. Her journey tests the limits of her endurance, forces her to confront her own conscience and values, and opens windows on what it means to belong to a family and to a nation. Through the fields of Iowa and the deserts of the southwest, over the Canadian Rockies, and across Alaska's Kenai Peninsula, Larsen questions the various meanings of femininity, family, independence, and personal identity. Lone Wolf invites the reader to ride along as she braces herself against the wind and trades security for freedom, stability for motion, and discovers the overwhelming beauty and unique individuals who are a part of North America.
