Summary

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.

Closer to the Peart

An intimate glimpse into the heart and mind of a notoriously guarded creative following the double tragedy of losing his wife and daughter mere months apart. I've been a Rush fan for decades but knew little of their lives outside of the band. This was a comforting listen, having had some recent bereavements myself. The narration is sensitive and warm, befitting the subject. Recommended to Rush fans, and non fans alike.

My first ever audio book...

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.

Your life will be better for reading this book

Honest and compelling.
It’s hard to imagine what the loss of a partner, and a daughter (or son) would do to somebody, but this book allows you a small insight into that world, and the road back from such a tragedy.

A Journey worth taking

I loved this listen. I went from listening to feeling the raw emotion and taking a rollercoaster ride of both laughter and deep sadness. A beautiful piece of work.
