This month's book selection:

The Ride of Her Life: The True Story of a Woman, Her Horse, and Their Last-Chance Journey Across America by Elizabeth Letts (2021) nonfiction.

In 1954, her doctor had given sixty-three-year-old Maine farmer Annie Wilkins only two years to live, but she wanted to see the Pacific Ocean before she died. Buying a cast-off brown gelding, Annie donned men's dungarees, loaded up her horse, and headed out from Maine in mid-November, hoping to beat the snow.
