The Ride of Her Life by Elizabeth Letts is the story of Annie Wilkins, the 63 year old who decided to ride across country from Maine to California in the 1950s. This book adds to Annie's story with inserts about the history of the United States at that time. The information builds on an incident, a location, or even a person along Annie journey and expands to present the history. The history at times seems to interrupt Annie's story, but, at the same time, provides the context. However, the uniqueness of Annie and her journey is definitely the ultimate lasting impression of this book.
