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 Blomquist is the author of three books; two editions of the non-fiction book "Insight Into Adoption", a novel "Randy's Ride", and a new novel "Searching for Abby" to be released in late 2011.
She is a wife, mother of three and a grandmother of two. Over the years she has lived in four cities and has had many years of experience within the adoption field. This has included working in a residential Children's Home, coordinating adoption support groups, counseling individual families, and speaking to adoptive parent groups.
Barbara believes it is possible to bust through family anxieties by facing all adoption issues squarely and honestly to ensure a positive outcome.
Her novels reflect the daily struggles with human emotions and insecurities which can be a part of anyone's life.
