　　Searching for Faith, Family, and Inner Peace on the Back of a

Motorcycle

Between 1846 and 1866, about 50,000 Mormons traveled the Mormon

trail, burying more than 6,000 of the faithful along the way. Four

generations ago, seven of Jana Richman’s eight great-great

grandmothers walked all or part of the 1,300-mile trek, from

Nauvoo, Illinois, on the Mississippi River to Salt Lake City.

Traveling on faith and little else, they endured unfathomable

hardships—bitter cold, extreme heat, mud, icy river crossings,

blizzards, buffalo stampedes, disease, hunger, and exhaustion—never

stopping until they reached their promised land where they could be

free to practice a religion that few outsiders understood and many

violently condemned.

One hundred and fifty years later, Jana Richman packs maps and a

laptop computer on the back of a motorcycle and follows the route

of her ancestors, searching for the peace and faith the women

before her carried with so much confidence. Jana also searches for

a clearer understanding of how her devoutly Mormon mother is able

to reconcile an independent spirit and enormous inner strength with

her intense belief in a patriarchal institution.

Riding into the nation’s heartland, visiting graveyards, chatting

with missionaries, and soaking in the rituals of the faith she so

casually shrugged off as a teenager, Richman begins to unravel her

family’s mysteries and confront her own long-held prejudices about

the Mormon Church.
