Kate’s 2¢: “The ride of her life: the true story of a woman, her horse, and their last-chance journey across America” by Elizabeth Letts

“The ride of her life: the true story of a woman, her horse, and their last-chance journey across America” by Elizabeth Letts

NOTE: There is a plethora of in-depth biographies of authors and reviews of their books, that state the title, author, published date, and genre; as well as,     describing what the book is about, setting, and character(s), so, Kate’s 2¢ merely shares my thoughts about what I read.  I’m just saying…

   This was a wonderful story. I’m so glad Annie made her trek when she did. I’m pretty sure that in 2023, she would not find so many back roads to traverse nor trusting people to aid in her up-keep.
