Karl Buckham is too young to be having a midlife crisis, but the truth is that he feels rudderless and adrift.
He can't stand his job, he doesn't really love the woman he's supposed to marry, and the grim realities of working in corporate America threaten to destroy what little soul he has left.
A good friend offers Karl an unusual opportunity in the form of a life-changing dare. If Karl walks away from everything he thought he held dear, he can have the Harley Davidson he coveted all through college.
Karl takes him up on the offer-and sets out on the journey of a lifetime. As he heads into the heart of the American West, he meets people who challenge his assumptions about truth, love, and integrity-about his very notions of self and purpose in the world.
Attacked, taken advantage of, and forced to compromise his ethics and morals, Karl's mettle is tested at every turn-and he becomes a man in the process.
About the Author: Sean T. Lahey graduated from St. Leo College and started a career in insurance. After a few years, he packed up his belongings and moved to San Francisco to be a writer.
Lahey then worked weekdays as a project manager at a software testing firm and managed beer vendor sales on the weekends at Sears Point Raceway. After four years, Lahey returned to Florida and the commercial insurance business. He met and married his wife, and together they have four beautiful children.
Lahey drew from his adventures in California as he wrote Taming the American Horse. His wife encouraged him to publish the book while mounting her own fight against breast cancer. She encouraged him to be a doer, not just a dreamer. Lahey extends his eternal love and gratitude to his incredible wife and soul mate for believing an insurance salesman can also be a writer.
