Book description

Having walked more than 5,000 km from Trafalgar Square in London to Morocco, learning on the job so to speak, the skills necessary to undertake such a challenge, Paula Constant finds herself alone in Africa.

The wheels have fallen off her marriage, her husband has left her, she is in mad lust with one of the guides, but is determined to follow her dream - to walk across the Sahara from its westernmost point to the East.

This is Paula's story: her struggle to come to terms with the loss of her marriage; her struggle to take control of her situation; her struggle to exert her authority over her environment, her camels and the men whom she hires to guide her onwards; her struggle with health issues and political red tape; her struggle to overcome her innermost demons; but most of all her struggle to fulfil her dream.
