Clearing the Way is a love story between two senior citizens who meet by chance and their lives are enriched by a mutual passion for the creative process. Lyle, a widower and retired building contractor, buys an old home near Anita, a widow who has painted and sculpted for years and turned to writing after the death of her husband. Together they build a rewarding relationship while he is restoring his home. With struggles and growth experiences, their offspring also learn to find new and rewarding purposes to their lives. Anita's son, Joel, convinces his brothers that they were wrong in trying to dissuade him from being a standup comedian. Each of the characters learns to clear the way for a happier life. "Irene Stretten's Clearing the Way is a refreshing look at love after fifty. Stretten has woven a tale of hope and renewal. We believe in the characters as they each find a new joy in life, and we are richer for knowing them."-Margo LaGattuta, poet, essaying, author of Embracing the Fall

Before Louise Scherbyn founded the Women's International Motorcycle Association, she was simply a working girl who loved motorcycling--at a time when women weren't allowed to wear pants, roads weren't hard-topped, and handlebars could come apart while riding. The hardest part? Auxiliaries she looked to for support each proved to be the wrong fit--some uncomfortably, disastrously so. All Louise wanted was for women riders to have a proper space of their own. For that she would ultimately have to forge a new path. This book tells the fascinating story of Scherbyn's journey in forming the first stand-alone women-only motorcycle association. Chapters cover 225,000 miles and two decades' worth of community-building, hostilities, physical and professional attacks, recovery, sisterhood and more. Scherbyn paved the way for women motorcyclists across the world while facing a storm of threats and uncertainties, driving ahead with newfound friends and her singular, unifying vision for women who ride.
