The Ride of Her Life by Elizabeth Letts tells the true story of Annie Wilkins, a 63-year-old woman from Maine who, in 1954, rode her horse, Tarzan, and her dog, Depeche Toi, over 4,000 miles across America to see the Pacific Ocean after being told she had only two years to live. The book chronicles her journey from Maine to California, highlighting her resilience, the kindness of strangers, and the changing American landscape in the 1950s, as she navigated modern highways with her animals.
