About this ebook
At 37, C.L. Stambush took a leap of faith — riding nearly 7,000 miles solo across India on a Royal Enfield Bullet (named Kali after the Hindu Goddess of destruction and rebirth) in a quest for self-discovery.
With no motorcycle experience, GPS, smartphone, or Google Maps, she plunges into India’s chaotic roads; roads she may not survive. She crashes her motorcycle, loses her camera, her way, and her self-control. Each ordeal forces Stambush to face herself and shed old beliefs, ultimately discovering the woman she’d been searching for all along.
Untethered: A Woman’s Search for Self on the Edge of India — A Travel Memoir is a raw and riveting solo motorcycle adventure memoir that immerses readers in India’s vibrant culture as Stambush is transformed by the people she meets and the dangers she overcomes.
Perfect for readers who crave:

• Exciting memoirs about women travelers
If you love true-life women’s memoirs like Wild or Eat, Pray, Love, you’ll be captivated by Untethered. Let C. L. Stambush inspire you to Go. Do. Be.
