When the love of Juliana's life dies unexpectedly, she is plunged into an all-consuming grief. The kind of grief that can make you older, sadder or - in Juliana's case - determined to take on a seemingly impossible challenge. With little experience of riding a bike and without a support crew or official sponsor, Juliana sets out to cycle the world. Journeying through small-town and big-mountain America, Australian deserts, South Asian rainforests and Turkish plains, she finds herself riding through a cyclone, fleeing angry dogs and kamikaze magpies - and feeling the rush of life again. In the process, Juliana officially becomes the first and fastest woman to circumnavigate the world by bike, proving that there are no extraordinary people - only ordinary people who decide to do the extraordinary. 'You'll be amazed and inspired by this book' Daniel H. Pink, author of Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us 'An incredible journey that is awe-inspiring and completely captivating' Lynne Cox, author of Swimming to Antarctica

Her first book, Not Without My Sister, was an international bestseller.
