What folks are saying:

Shé is wow-pow: world of wonder, piece of wonder. She reminds us how to live.
—Dominick Brah, Oregon Coast Trail cyclist

Learning to surf at 54? Traveling across the continent solo? Yes! Inspiring and humorous, even when she’s lost, literally and metaphorically.
—Robyn W. B. Flowell, Sailing for Sillies

Shé is the poet laureate of Hope. Resourceful and resilient, she’s absolutely brilliant.
—Gert Kallo Psmith, When in Rome

Brave.
—Tom Tru

Authentic. Tragic. Funny. Shé is as tough as the bison steak she cooks for her mom, but a lot more savory. Yes, life can be hard, but also resplendent.
—Peggy Morocco Stein, Three Bikes & a Mule

Poetry and recipes—my kind of travelogue.
—Julia F. Kordon, Yes, It Comes with Fries

Shé is my favorite writer. Period. Plus she talks to horses and whales, sings to turtles, and shakas Blue Angels.
—Mary Lou Summers, Howling V: the Rebirth

Eloquent and honest. A surfista to emulate.
—Simka Jhones, Why Change the World?
