Jana Richman talked about her book, Riding in the Shadows of Saints: A Woman’s Story of Motorcycling the Mormon Trail, in which she talks about her motorcycle ride along the Mormon Trail. Growing up in a Mormon household, Jana grew disenchanted with the church and left it when she was in high school. At the time, she couldn’t understand why any woman would be a part of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, including her mother. Decades later, Jana decided to reexamine her issues with the church and learn more about the religion that played a large part in her childhood.
