After riding her motorcycle across Africa, Heather is diagnosed with HIV in London. She is thirty years old and is given less than five years to live. It is 1995 when death from AIDS was inevitable. Timeless On The Silk Road is the story of what happens next. What unfolds is an evocative journey of courage, hardship and immense natural beauty as she rides her motorcycle along the fabled Silk Roads of antiquity to Australia. Guided by an inner knowing there's a protective force out there, her journey across half the planet, becomes essentially the story of one woman's last adventure; her one last search for meaning. Infused with a deep spiritual power, it is also a story that leaves the reader considering their own mortality: their own 'time less' journey called life. Heather travels into the hidden world of Central Asia just after the fall of the Soviet Union. She crosses deserts and is touched by the ancient world of Islam. She rides into the land of the heavenly mountains where the nomads welcome her into their yurts and their hearts. And she becomes lost in the vastness of Siberia's Altai mountains where she is rescued by Russian mountain men. And in China, she is repeatedly told there will soon be a new world order. Timeless On The Silk Road is Heather's eagerly anticipated second book and follows Ubuntu: One Woman's Motorcycle Odyssey Across Africa. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
