After she returns from Africa for her 30th birthday, her boyfriend Ryan cannot pry any commitment from her for their future together, despite her mother's playful, but pointed, urging and interference. Her mother's self-centered behavior drives the wedge between them even deeper, and Abbey retreats into her own defense mode: keep your life separate, don't share your feelings, retreat far away to another continent, refuse to make plans together, use people without letting them use you, stay detached, never say 'I love you'.But when her mother is diagnosed with cancer, Abbey postpones her return to Africa on assignment and offers begrudging assistance to lighten her father's caretaking load. One by one, the secret layers of her life as her mother's child are peeled away, until Abbey has no choice but to face a new and unsettling truth.Can she accept the changes in her relationship with her mother that arise as her health slips away? Can Abbey open herself to Ryan enough to repair their attachment and resume their romance, to make plans for a life together?Nothing seems possible until Abbey learns Ryan's childhood story of his yearning for a bike. Not just any bike. The red bike.

It is a story of blood, sweat, toil and tears. It is a story of triumph and occassional disaster.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rosie the little pig is determined to learn how to ride a bike and see the world—no matter how many times she has to pick herself up and start over—in this whimsical story about following your dreams and never giving up. Rosie is a little pig who has everything she needs right on the farm: a mud bath to play in, plenty of food to eat, and a deliciously smelly pigpen. But then she sees a small, ugly animal with two feet and no tail riding a bicycle and she thinks “That’s easy. I could ride a bike too.” It is only when she sneaks out at night to try to ride the bike herself that Rosie realizes it’s not as easy as it looks. First you have to learn to pedal…but you also need to know how to balance, and braking is very important, too. Every night, watched over by her friend the moon, she tries again and again, and after each failure, she learns something new: to give a push, to wear a helmet, to ask a friend for help. And so every night she tries again, because she knows that if she could just learn how to ride a bike, why, she could travel to the other side of the world…or maybe even farther.
