Description
Chasing Africa is a deeply personal and thought-provoking memoir that explores the complexities of identity, health, and courage. Lisa Duncan recounts her journey as she navigated the challenges of her family's illnesses while chasing her own dreams of adventure.
In 1996, after years of watching her loved ones struggle with Parkinson's and progressive multiple sclerosis, Lisa embarked on a solo journey to Africa, relying on herself, fellow adventurers, and local kindness to guide her through unknown territory. Her experiences in Namibia, the Zambezi River, and other destinations taught her valuable lessons about letting go of guilt and fear.
This moving memoir is a testament to the power of self-discovery and the importance of prioritizing one's own well-being. With honesty and vulnerability, Lisa shares her story, offering insights into the human spirit and its capacity for resilience in the face of adversity.
