Ride the Wind
by Anne DudleyAlex Durant lives in a room behind the motorcycle repair shop where he works as an underpaid mechanic, bullied by his boss. There's a truth he's ignored most of his twenty-three years: men on their bikes turn him on, not women on the pin-up calendars that line the shop walls. It's during a well-earned vacation to Sturgis, South Dakota, to attend the motorcycle rally where he comes face to face with his truth. He meets the confident and outgoing Jordon Baker, who races motorcycles as a career. Alex is overwhelmed by Jordon's incredible smile and kind eyes and his need to live life to the fullest. In the week they spend together, it's Jordon who shows Alex things he's never experienced: concerts, races, and the stars. It's Jordon who shows him that two male bodies can ignite in pleasure when they come together. By the end of the week, Alex sees in Jordon's eyes what he feels in his heart, and the truth of that scares him to the core. But Sturgis week has ended, and Alex is back to the grind. He's now stuck with making a difficult choice: continue to live his sad life alone and in hiding, or live his truth with the man who has big eyes for the world.

On her return, Chana became the caretaker of her heavily medicated, suicidal mother. It would be many years before she learned the secret of her mother’s anguish: her love affair with another married woman, and the psychiatric treatment aimed at curing her of her lesbianism.

From the intolerance of the '50s to the exhilaration of the women’s movement of the '70s and beyond, the book traces the profound ways in which their two lives were impacted by the social landscape of their time. Exquisitely written and devastatingly honest,Riding Fury Homeis a shattering account of one family’s struggle against homophobia and mental illness-and a powerful story of healing, forgiveness, and redemption.
