Abby Ripley’s From Pass to Pass: Volume I & II is a touching and adventurous story that beautifully captures the power of transformation. Millie’s journey from the quiet fields of Wyoming to the breathtaking mountains of Ladakh is more than just a physical voyage. It is a heartfelt exploration of love, courage, and personal growth. Ripley’s writing feels natural and vivid, pulling the reader into every scene: whether it’s a quiet evening under the Wyoming sky or the raw, untamed beauty of the Himalayas.
Millie’s experiences are a mix of joy and sorrow, but through it all, she finds strength she didn’t know she had. Her encounters with different people and cultures add richness to her character and depth to the story. What stands out most is how Ripley makes Millie’s emotions feel real and relatable, even against the backdrop of such grand adventure. You can’t help but cheer for her, feel her pain, and celebrate her moments of triumph.
This book leaves you with a sense of peace and hope. It reminds us that sometimes we need to lose ourselves to truly find who we are. From Pass to Pass: Volume I & II is not just about travel or love; it’s about embracing every moment of life: the good and the hard, with an open heart. Ripley delivers a story that lingers long after the last page is turned.

Thoroughly enjoyed reading Millie's travels from Wyoming to India in the late 1800's.
The book is long, but my interest never flagged as there was always another intrigue going on. There are wonderful descriptions of ranch life during that period of time, as well as interesting descriptions of traveling by horseback through remote areas of India. Well worth the time put in to reading this book.
