A late-in-life coming-of-age escapade told with laughter and center, Don't Think Double is a moving and irreverent bill of grief, growing up, and the recovering power of trip. Within six months Barbara Schoichet lost everything: her job, her partner of six years, and her mom to pancreatic tumors. Her life stripped bare, and armed with only a loss of life wish and a huge amount of attitude, Barbara pursues an unlikely method of coping. At the age of 50, she makes her motorcycle permit, purchases a Harley on eBay from two men named Dave, and drives it only from NY to Los Angeles on a circuitous trek loosely led by her H.O.G. tour book and a whole lot of road whimsy. Around the wide open highway - where she daily needs her speed to 100 - Barbara battles physical constraints and interior demons on a journey that flows through the majestic Appalachian Mountains, the charming Turquoise Trail, and all along America's iconic Course 66. She is awed by the battlefields in Gettysburg, stunned by the decadence of Graceland, and amused by way of a Cadillac graveyard in the middle of nowhere. She meets kind strangers, peculiar strangers, and a guy who pulls a firearm on her for trimming him off. She is susceptible but sassy, broken but driven to treat...or die striving.
