Author Leah Day Talks About Her Memoir “Changing Gears”

The Friends of the Peaks Island Branch Library invite you to hear Leah Day speak about her book Changing Gears, the story of a mother and teenage son biking the Transamerica Bicycle Trail to rebuild their relationship on the adventure of a lifetime.

When licensed clinical therapist and self-proclaimed “reluctant adventure” Leah Day felt herself drifting from her son, Oakley, she decided to make a drastic play to reconnect.  In this memoir chronicling the journey of a lifetime, Leah and Oakley find that if they can push themselves to accomplish physically exhausting and emotional taxing milestones on a bike, they are capable of anything!
