About this listen

In less than a year, Neil Peart lost both his 19-year-old daughter, Selena, and his wife, Jackie. Faced with overwhelming sadness and isolated from the world in his home on the lake, Peart was left without direction. That lack of direction lead him on a 55,000 mile journey by motorcycle across much of North America, down through Mexico to Belize, and back again. He had needed to get away, but he had not really needed a destination. His personal odyssey is chronicled with his travel adventures, meeting up with friends and family, and the grieving, thinking, crying, and storytelling of life as he rides. Along the way, he plays music from his internal jukebox, yet nothing seems to let him find peace. And without peace, all he could do was keep riding until he found it.

If you'd been through what Neil Pearl had been through you might be tempted to throw in the towel. Instead he gets the urge to go - somewhere, anywhere on his bike a day ends up travelling thousands of miles up and down Canada, USA and South America. The book comprises his attempts to come to terms with his new situation whilst recounting his adventures on "the healing Road."
I loved the book, though some of the description gets a bit long. I'm not normally Into travel writing but this is exceptional Disclosure: I am a massive Rush and Neil Pearl fan.

Painful, difficult and with multiple personalities, I have loved the ‘Baby Soul’ ‘Ghost Rider’ journey across Canada and North American on the Healing Road.
References to Rush songs, along with beautiful scenic setting descriptions, gave a real insight into what someone might do, by getting on a red BMW and simply riding, when faced with complete despair.
I feel like I have a lost a friend.

This is the second of Rush drummer Neil Peart's books I've listened to and again it's an engrossing tome, very nicely narrated again.

Starting as Neil began to pick up the pieces of his life after the double tragedies of the deaths of his daughter and then wife, he begins a 4-month travelogue through Canada, Alaska, the west coast of the US, going the length of Mexico and into Belize. along the way we discover that Neil recognised many different facets of his personality and actually gave them names.

There is a whole chapter of letters he wrote to his best friend, who was arrested for drug trafficking while Neil was on his journey.

A thoroughly engaging text that will certainly have me paying moreclose attention to Rush's Vapour Trails album (their first release after he returned) next time I listen to it.
