Chasing Lions

Chasing Lions is an empowering and captivating memoir. It shows that a lack of self-confidence doesn't have to stop you from living the life you want and finding the love you deserve.

 

When Amanda is mugged by a gang of schoolkids, she knows things have to change. She decides to go in search of her inner lion.

 

It proves to be a bruising experience both physically and mentally. But she perseveres, and surprises herself by becoming a truck-driving tour leader in the bohemian and male-dominated world of overland expeditions.

 

Over three years and 55,000 miles, Amanda faces her feelings of inadequacy as she strives to discover her roar. On her journey, she watches the moon rise over the Serengeti and the sun set behind Egypt's pyramids, she rafts with Zambezi river gods and communes with gorillas, she faces lions in the wild, has her fortune told by a crab sorcerer . . . and meets her soulmate?

 

Chasing Lions is a compelling tale of inner transformation through immersion in the natural world and being open to the rich diversity of life. Amanda encourages us to live life to the full, be brave, and choose love.
