Mongolian Love Letters is the true story of the Gobi Gallop—the longest annual charity ride on the planet—told by a woman who arrived exhausted, grieving, and uncertain she had any business being there.

When life threatens to collapse, you can still choose your comeback. For most of my life, I’ve dealt in chaos.

For years, I lived with the quiet knowledge that cancer ran in my family like an inherited storm—my sister, my mother, and my grandmother were taken by the disease. I spent a decade fortifying my body and hoping against all odds that I wouldn’t have to battle the tempest.
