About this product

The Ride of Her Life by Elizabeth Letts is a nonfiction narrative that recounts the true story of Annie Wilkins, a 63-year-old Maine farmer who in 1954 rode her horse, Tarzan, across America to see the Pacific Ocean. With no money, family, or map, she set out in November, wearing men's dungarees and accompanied by her dog Depeche Toi. The journey, undertaken despite a two-year life expectancy, reveals her resilience and faith in human kindness amid a rapidly changing landscape shaped by new highways.
