description:  Just then a train of thought rumbled into motion and a soft voice asked me a question. It was almost a whisper. What are you doing here? it said. You are building a career Anna came the reply from another more sinister voice. But are you building a life? said the soft voice again. And for that I had no answer. Disillusioned with corporate London life and with no previous experience as a long-distance cyclist Anna decides to clamber atop a beautiful pink bicycle (named Boudica) and set out on an 11000-mile journey on her own through each and every state of the USA. Dodging floods blizzards and electrical storms she pedals side by side with mustangs of the Wild West through towering redwood forests past the snow-capped peaks of the Rocky Mountains and on to the volcanos of Hawaii. Along the way she meets record-breaking grandmas sings with Al Green at a gospel service and does her best to avoid becoming a grizzly bear's dinner. 50 Shades of the USA is a down-to-earth heartfelt and hilarious account of an adventure through a country well-known but far less well-understood. It is a stunning tale of self-discovery told through the eyes of a woman who couldnt help but wonder if there was more to life and more to America too.
