Randy's Ride

Randy never felt like he fit in. Adopted when he was young, he never found his place within his family. Because of this disconnected feeling, Randy decided to set out on his own.
Author Barbara Blomquist invites readers to come along on Randy’s Ride, a touching story of one young man’s journey to self-discovery. During his travels, Randy meets interesting people who teach him many life lessons. There’s Ellie, a hard woman struggling with the death of her mother; Bill, the teacher who encourages Randy to make something of himself; and Mindy, a young girl who touches Randy’s heart. Through his encounters with these individuals and others, Randy learns a very important lesson: your life is what you make it.
Barbara Taylor Blomquist’s first book, Insight Into Adoption, reflected her thirty plus years of experience with conflicted families. During those years, she served as an adoption consultant, coordinated adoption support groups, was a board member of several children’s organizations, and was employed by a Children’s Home, as well as a children’s counseling service. In her work she has come across many children like Randy. Randy’s Ride was written because she felt their story needed to be told.
