I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Fabulous read! The author is phenomenal!

This book is an epic road trip that captures an emotional and physical journey juxtaposing raw vulnerability with gritty self-determination.

The writing has energy, honesty, and an ever-present laconic sense of humour that often belies the intensity of the lived experience. A great read this book is an ode to living life consciously, bravely and with a desire to draw
