Why do we destroy the things we love most? This is the question Paulo Coelho faces as he confronts his past. On a forty-day quest into the starkly beautiful and sometimes dangerous Mojave Desert, Paulo and his wife, Cristina, encounter the Valkyries, strange warrior women who travel the desert on motorcycles. In a story that blends breathtaking insight, exotic locales, and dramatic adventure, author Coelho masterfully displays the acclaimed storytelling talent that enriches his bestselling fictional works — in a riveting true-life odyssey that delivers a poignant message about letting go of the past and believing in the future.
