Made from This Earth by Susan Griffin
As it does for a lot of Vietnam War vets, the distinctive rumble of a Harley-Davidson motorcycle on the move signifies the freedom of the open road to former U.S. Marine Luke Eastman. After being laid off from his position as a department liaison for an automotive plant in Ann Arbor, Michigan, that noise is a siren call beckoning him and his family to the aerospace industry of Southern California. In Roads of Our Lives, the love of family, country, and the freedom of riding a motorcycle across America's storied landscape is the setting for the adventure of a lifetime that will test the personal qualities of two men. Luke does find the freedom and openness of soul that he dreamed of on the two-lane blacktops of America, but he also finds unearned hostility, cyclone winds, and the heartbreak of an abusive marriage within his own family. Barely halfway through their epic road trip, Luke and Todd will find themselves confronting the question neither anticipated: are we big enough to live out our dreams?
