June Callwood

These musings address the haunting question at the center of all existence: WHAT IS IT ALL ABOUT ANYWAY? Kathy Shaidle can't figure it out either, but she writes brilliantly, unsparingly, unforgettably.

Malcolm Card, Atlantic Baptist

This small book which expresses the raw feelings that accompany Shaidle's struggle to figure out her role in life and how God fits into all the things that are happening to her.

This book offers a great window into the soul of a young, searching, post modern Canadian woman

Stephen Beecroft, The Stoney Creek News

God Rides a Yamaha probably describes how Kathy and her generation (she was born in 1964) view God. And life. And problems. And everything else. Kathy's writing is fresh and her style is very easy to read. And she's brutally honest. God Rides a Yamaha is highly recommended.
