“This book is for everyone, not just backpackers.”
“If you've ever wondered what it would be like to take a leap of faith and venture out into the unknown, you will love this story and be inspired by it.”
“James Gibson has an uncommon ability to pull you into the story and make you feel and believe as though you are experiencing it yourself. A thoroughly good read from start to end.”
“This book was a really enjoyable read. One man's honest truth about finding himself, love, and conquering his fears, all in the backdrop of one of the most remarkable places a nature lover could find. Kick back and enjoy.”
“This book is tough to put down, it's a real page-turner. You don't need to be a hiker, or even an outdoorsman to relate to James' journey. Extremely well written, it's open, honest and revealing. Life lessons, chance encounters, hopes, fears, setbacks and ultimate fulfillment ... every step in this long walk makes for a truly enjoyable read.”

If you ever wondered “what if,” this is the book to inspire you to dream and to try.
