This books starts as a rite of passage, coming of age, story of Missy, the daughter of a biker. Her mother died giving birth to her and she was raised by her father and his friends.  After her father was killed by a distracted driver, Missy decides the best way to heal is with the wind in her face. She begins her journey on the Indian her father was restoring for her when he died, and  which was finished by Jag, a close family friend.  During her journey she collects friends and tattoos, and ends up in a small town during Bike Week. She meets Tommy, falls in love, then learns her biker family back home has been all but wiped out by a rogue MC led by Captain Jack. Her friend, Pappy, takes her home to visit the three survivors of the ambush and Pappy forms a secret allegiance with survivor Jag to help track down Captain Jack and his outlaw motorcycle gang.  Fast forward twenty years later, and what has been a relatively slow moving train rapidly picks up speed, then barrels downhill to an agonizing and bittersweet climax.This book is definitely adult reading due to subject matter and an f/f scene. For me, it really came together after I finished it and had time to digest it.  That said, it is well written and I would recommend it and reread it.  It is one I couldn't put down.
