In less than a year, Neil Peart lost both his 19-year-old daughter, Selena, and his wife, Jackie. Faced with overwhelming sadness and isolated from the world in his home on the lake, Peart was left without direction. This memoir tells of the sense of loss and directionlessness that led him on a 55,000-mile journey by motorcycle across much of North America, down through Mexico to Belize, and back again. He had needed to get away, but had not really needed a destination. His travel adventures chronicle his personal odyssey and include stories of reuniting with friends and family, grieving, thinking, and reminiscing as he rode until he encountered the miracle that allowed him to find peace. 400 pages.

I came upon this book late, discovering by accident but not it seemed. Shared fate in a way as I had recently lost my wife to onset dementia, made some hair brain decisions, and was not in a happy state, this book impacted in all the good and positive ways as it deals with purpose and self awareness and motivation to rediscovery pathway to positive purpose and evolving. I read this book almost every year, I listen to most of the early prog rock music on vinyl and ride my Harley to country town and smell the serenity if that is ever a thing.

I used to hate reading books, but now I love imagining being where Neil describes the scenes he is sharing in written form. My love of reading started after reading comics, and I learned to imagine the actions outside of the art created by the artist. I then read Masked Rider and imagined being in West Africa, frustrated by the sweltering heat, Annie, the gendarme, and every life challenge upon Neil. THEN CAME GHOST RIDER. As I read the book and felt the raw emotions, I wondered if Rush would return; yes, I was that emotional. I laughed, cried, and felt relieved the baby emotion was satiated as it flew off from the Santa Monica Pier or the end of Peart's journey on Route 66. Ghost Rider is a great book, and I hope you buy it for yourself, loved ones, or fellow Rush fans. Thank you, Neil, and RIP.
