Katarina’s comments from the 2017 Reading Challenge group.

A book about Glen Heggstad's road trip from California to the tip of South America and back in 2001. He was taken prisoner in Colombia and spent 5 horrible weeks before being set free. My favourite quote from the book: " when the average people of the planet refuse to hate, terrorism fails and freedom prevails as we reach out to one another"
