Overnight settlements, better known as "Hell on Wheels," sprang up as the transcontinental railroad crossed Nebraska and Wyoming.

As you read this, hundreds of bands are on tour, criss-crossing the country. Some are travelling in tour buses, playing huge venues to thousands of people. Others are in beat-up Ford Econoline vans, playing in tiny clubs to no one. They all have stories about their tours. Some are funny...some are nightmares. This is a compilation of some of those stories.

Contestants have died, been maimed, and spiraled down into the nightmarish realm of madness. Half of them don't finish--in fact, only 200 racers have ever made it to the end. "Outside" magazine calls it "the toughest test of endurance in the world." RAAM (the Race Across America) is a bicycle race like no other. This epic race is the most brutal organized sporting event you've never heard of and one of the best-kept secrets in the sports world. Author Amy Snyder follows a handful of athletes before, during, and after the 2009 event, the closest and most controversial in history. "Hell on Two Wheels" is a thrilling and remarkably detailed account of their ups and downs, triumphs and tragedies. By experiencing the race from the perspective of the racers themselves, "Hell on Two Wheels" breaks new ground in helping us appreciate how such a grueling effort can be so cleansing and self-revelatory. This is more than just a race; it's a monster, a crucible, an unforgettable allegory about the human experience of pain and joy and self-discovery.

From the time she was born with Cerebral Palsy, Jean Starnes used her humor, determination and intelligence to meet many challenges. Hell on Wheels begins with her early years in a small West Texas town where her family had to insist the school system accept its responsibility to educate her. Jean's competitive, persistent nature served her well, as she attained two masters degrees, became a teacher and a Psychological Associate and adopted a son who is minimally handicapped. Hell on Wheels inspires, entertains and educates everyone. Because of its honesty and glimpses into unexpected intimate moments, Jean's book will appeal to the handicapped and the able-bodied alike.
