About this listen

At age 20, Jenell Nyberg decided to drop out of college and move to a commune after everything in her life seemed to collapse in on itself. It is here that she acquires the name Bok Choy. Years later, after facing unspeakable trauma and finally finding herself homeless and with a serious mental health diagnosis, she decides, against all odds, to ride her bicycle halfway around the country with the goal of making it to a family wedding in the mountains on the East Coast. Her journey will be met with both grit and grace as strangers and lovers alike meet her along the way and ultimately help rescue her from herself.

A story told with humor that will draw in the bicycle enthusiast, math geek, solo and armchair traveler alike, this raw memoir will keep you gripped on your seat as Bok Choy faces broken spokes, hunger, thirst, danger, illness, and love and community in the most unexpected of places.

The author has lived life to the fullest and her book will take you on a harrowing adventure, engaging to any audience. Her wit and frank tone are a welcome reprieve from the false politeness of everyday life. This is also a brutally honest portrayal of life with bipolar disorder, with all the stigma and struggle it entails.
