Author, Arleen Williams has done it again in Biking Uphill, the second book in the Alki Trilogy. She has woven authentic characters into a compellingly human storyline to create can't-put-it-down read. Williams finds moments in the everyday when cultures collide and moments of kindness result. In the case of Biking Uphill, that kindness results in friendships that change the course of one woman's life.

Jennifer Hotes, author of Four Rubbings

Biking Uphill is a wonderful story that will take the reader on a journey of self-discovery, friendship, and redemption.

Women’s fiction at its best! Excellent pacing, vividly drawn characters, friendship, emotional turmoil, humor, and my favorite part--setting. Some authors have a gift for creating a special time and place; Ms. Williams has done it here. The locations she draws for us are rich with detail and emotion, so much so that closing the book left me with the sense that I had just left home. The author shows us the many ways to build a home, and reminds us how important it is to find our place and nurture the relationships that are dearest to us. Biking Uphill is an enjoyable, quick read that also offers a necessary look at the lives of people who matter, people who otherwise would be forgotten, or worse—never known to us in the first place.
