SynopsisWithin a ten-month period, Neil Peart lost both his 19-year-old daughter, Selena, and his wife, Jackie. Faced with overwhelming sadness and isolated from the world in his home on the lake, Peart was left without direction. This memoir tells of the sense of personal devastation that led him on a 55,000-mile journey by motorcycle across much of North America, down through Mexico to Belize, and back again. Peart chronicles his personal odyssey and includes stories of reuniting with friends and family, grieving, and reminiscing. He recorded with dazzling artistry the enormous range of his travel adventures, from the mountains to the seas, from the deserts to the Arctic ice, and the memorable people who contributed to his healing. Ghost Rider is a brilliantly written and ultimately triumphant narrative memoir from a gifted writer and the drummer and lyricist of the legendary rock band Rush., This bold narrative written by the drummer and lyricist for the band Rush shows how Peart tried to stay alive by staying on the move after the loss of his 19-year-old daughter and his wife. The book will be sold as part of the band's official merchandise during its 47-city American tour. 20 photos. 15 maps., On a journey of escape, exile, and exploration, he traveled from Quebec to Alaska, down the Canadian and American coasts and western regions, to Mexico and Belize, and finally back to Quebec. While riding "the Healing Road," Neil recorded in his journals his progress and setbacks in the grieving/healing process, and the pain of constantly reliving his losses. He also recorded with dazzling, colourful, entertaining, and moving artistry, the enormous range of his travel adventures, from the mountains to the sea, from the deserts to Arctic ice, and the dozens of memorable people, characters, friends, and relatives he met along the way.

Motorcycling letter writing journal
As a fan of the band Rush and an avid motorcycle rider and long distance touring traveler who loves to write. I knew that this book would be something I would enjoy. I followed Neil's journey with a map book of my own enjoying when I realized that I had ridden some of those roads also. If you are not a motorcyclist you may find better reading elsewhere.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

read the travel section and skip the rest
The travel story in the first part of the book was pretty good and well written. All of the letters to personal friends in the later half had me skipping through much of this section.RVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

No matter if it's because of grief, hard times, burnout, depression, or mistreatment by others, the late, great Neil Peart's story of recovery will resonate with you. And, if you just want a beautifully-written travelogue with amazing scenery written in, it's a delight for that, too.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Neil Peart, an incredibly intensely talented man
Being a fan of Rush I already knew from Neil Peart's lyrics he is a "thinking" man. And this book illustrates that fact completely!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
