Reading this story was like sitting at the feet of a beloved grandmother, where she is effortlessly telling her life stories, and everything that she says is exactly what I needed to hear. [...] Oh, and they nailed the end. — Alice Gold

This story reminds me of a coming of age read, but adult version. [...] It makes for a sweet, light-hearted read. — Elizabeth Mueller

I'd recommend this book to both men and women ... — C.L. Beck

Leaning into the Curves offers a delightful view of a little-known group of faithful Latter-day Saints. Full of appealing characters and unexpected turns, it gives a new twist to what life can be like after “a certain age!”

Molly is happy with her life the way it is, but everything changes when her husband, Hank, retires. When Hank brings home a Gold Wing motorcycle and joins the Temple Riders Association, a “Mormon motorcycle gang” that combines road trips with temple work, things go from bad to worse. Faced with the prospect of being left behind as Hank hits the road with his new group of friends, Molly starts making some changes of her own.

  • A funny, often poignant, look at the challenges of reinventing life after sixty
  • From the co-authors of the popular series The Company of Good Women
  • The Temple Riders were featured in an October 2009 Footsteps of Faith documentary

Fun read

Anthony, UT - October 16, 2010


From the beginning of this book I noticed that the authors were throwing out too many full names of characters and people that I didn't really need to pay attention to. I will usually skim over the names of certain individuals in a book unless it mentions their full name because then you figure they are going to play a prominent part in the rest of the story. Not likely in this case and that was a common annoyance in the first few chapters of this book. That being said, the book was an enjoyable read. I believe the main character Molly overeacted a bit with her fears of riding a motorcycle, but that's what made it fun. There was a perfect mix of humor and drama with the real romance seeming to take place outside the relationship of Molly and Hank with her daughter and friend. This book really is perfect for anyone who needs to overcome the fear of riding a bike or understanding the need to cruise. I would recommend it to adults, not necessarily teen age readers as they might…
