Resilience: How I Stole My Little Brother's Bicycle and Ended Up in California

By Nicholas Orsini and Julian De Sevilla

15% of all profits are going towards the charity, A Little Gesture, which benefits children in Mozambique. In his uplifting memoir, cycling novice Nicholas Orsini takes us through his journey across America with his cousin, Brett. Shortly after finishing his junior year at Ohio State, Nicholas borrows his younger brother's bicycle with one mission in mind: to cycle across the continental United States, from Florida to California. Brett met him in Florida and off they went, determined to prove everyone wrong, going on the adventure of a lifetime while raising money for ALS research.In Resilience Nicholas details the monstrous challenges they faced that came in the form of mountains, wild animals, and mother nature, as well as their triumphs, the befriended strangers who saved them along the way, and the vast inequality that the United States faces in its modern era. From Florida to California, Resilience is a story of adventure in its most raw and pushing oneself to the maximum limits known to man through sheer endurance, grit, and plenty of dumb luck.
