On the Rim

Ellen thought these would be the golden years of marriage, when the kids were grown and she and her husband once again had time for each other. Instead, she is blindsided by her husband’s request for a divorce and by learning that everything she thought they held jointly — the house, the car, and the bank account — are all in his name.

Depressed and defeated, Ellen`s life spirals out of control until one day when she impulsively buys a bike. Nervous and tenuous at first, she eventually gains strength and confidence and sets her sights on riding to California. But when life gets in the way, it seems as if her dream will never be realized.

An inspiring story of one woman's journey from despair to a new life.
