** Winner of the British Sports Book Awards 2014 New Writer of the
Year ** Where there is hope there can be redemption. Meet Adrien
Niyonshuti, a member of the Rwandan cycling team. Adrien was seven
years old when he lost his family in the 1994 genocide that tore
Rwanda apart. Almost twenty years later he has a shot at
representing his country at the Olympics. Meet Jock Boyer, the
coach of Team Rwanda. One of the top American cyclists of all time,
Jock recognises the innate talent for endurance that the Rwandans
possess. A man with a dark past, Jock is in need of a second
chance. Meet Tom Ritchey, the visionary inventor of the mountain
bike and the U.S. money man looking to recover from a profound
personal crisis. In The Land of Second Chances, Tim Lewis charts
the incredible true story of the Rwandan cycling team as they
overcome impossible odds to inspire a nation.
