MARA HOLT
OUT SEPTEMBER 9 · PREORDER NOW
She quit a job in logistics to become, technically, logistics.
In 2022, Mara Holt left a shipping-optimization career to ride from Anchorage to Ushuaia. The Long Way is the funniest book ever written about spreadsheets, dogs that chase bicycles, and the strangers who fix everything.
336 pages of borderlands, breakdowns, and the discovery that the shortest route was never the point.
