Marilyn Dunkel McGloin to Release Inspirational Memoir Gramma’s Pink Harley: A Journey of Motherhood, Adventure, and Self-Discovery
Marilyn Dunkel McGloin, a celebrated educator and adventurer, is set to release her memoir, Gramma’s Pink Harley. This extraordinary narrative chronicles McGloin’s evolution from a mother of eight to a fearless individual embracing life’s challenges with humor, resilience, and unwavering faith. The book offers readers a deeply personal look at her life’s ups and downs, blending heartfelt anecdotes with inspiring insights.
Gramma’s Pink Harley is more than a memoir—it’s a tale of courage and self-discovery. Through its pages, McGloin recounts her early life in a large family, the struggles and joys of raising eight children, and her eventual journey toward finding her “Inner Wild Woman.” Whether skydiving, bungee jumping, or riding her iconic pink Harley, McGloin’s story celebrates living boldly and authentically.
The memoir is dedicated to McGloin’s eight children and numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who serve as both her inspiration and the heart of her story. “Each one of them taught me something about living and loving life,” McGloin writes. Her candid accounts of balancing the chaos of family life with her personal ambitions offer readers humor, wisdom, and relatability.
McGloin also dives into her spiritual awakening, which was brought to her by participation in the “Inside Edge,” an organization promoting self-awareness and personal growth. Encounters with inspirational figures, including Chicken Soup for the Soul author Jack Canfield, fueled her transformation. As McGloin puts it, “I found my Inner Wild Woman, and it’s so much fun!”
Her stories of conquering fears—whether through extreme sports or “Harley-ing” through life’s unexpected challenges—encourage readers to embrace their own paths to fulfillment. She’s the grandma we all wish we had!
Tim Piering says about Marilyn, “You would be hard-pressed to find another person who has had the breath of life adventures that Marilyn has had.” Read all about the wonderful adventures of Marilyn, and how she achieved the life she had always desired deep down in “Gramma’s Pink Harley.”
