“Stacey Kerr is my kind of woman (and writer). Sharp, dedicated enough to become a doctor and wild enough to saddle up a Harley-Davidson and lean into the turns in her search for freedom. The book’s a delight and made me wish I knew her personally. As a man who built and rode motorcycles until I was seventy-eight I share her affection for them. I’m delighted to recommend this book, especially to women who may be pondering what their search for freedom and service might become.” —Peter Coyote, actor, author, and Zen Buddhist priest “If you’re ready for a tour through the rolling hills and the valleys of 1960s and 70s culture, hitch a ride on the back of Dr. Stacey Kerr’s motorcycle and [go] for on a whirlwind tour of her life as a hippie mama, family doctor, medical cannabis practitioner and teacher. Full of fun, western landscapes and just enough redemption to keep you coming back for more.” —Joe Dolce, author of Brave New Weed “I read and rode along with Dr. Kerr in Wild Heart and loved the ride! I loved that she named her motorcycles; the emotional connection to her wheels came through strong and clear, along with her beautiful writing—a winning combination that pulled me right along with her. I loved that she grew and gained confidence, realizing that she always had that power within but it just needed to come out . . . No one starts out as an expert rider, and Dr. Kerr wasn’t afraid to admit she was scared. Stepping out of our comfort zones and doing things that are scary are where we gain the most personal growth and confidence. Stacey really did that, and I felt like I was riding with her, cheering her on!”—Cris Sommer Simmons, moto journalist and author of The American Motorcycle Girls: 1900 to 1950, included in the National Motorcycle Museum Hall of Fame, Sturgis Hall of Fame, AMA Hall of Fame, and the Top 100 Women in Powersports “Funny, wise, heartfelt, healing, vibrant and innovative. Dr. Stacey Kerr just makes you wanna jump on a bike and ride. Her adventures in motorcycle riding, friendship, healing, being a parent, a daughter and ultimately beloved to herself, all allow us to catch a glimpse of what it means to live a truly authentic, vibrant life.” —Tanya Taylor Rubinstein, founder, Somatic Writing
