“What a journey—a transcontinental chronicle from a writer who is truly, fully alive!”

--environmentalist and writer Bill McKibben

Bill McKibben is just one luminary with high praise for my new book Outpedaling ‘The Big C’ My Healing Cycle Across America. I know it will inspire you, too.

My memoir not only delves into my own intensive, 11-year odyssey with melanoma, but reveals how I rediscovered my father—who died of the same type of cancer when he was 44 and I was 15. Don’t despair. This is not a boo-hoo story. It’s a frank, unsentimental and engaging tale about human connections and why I had to unearth my past to make sense of my present.
