Here is the intriguing story of one woman's mid-life flight from
her stultified, middle-class, psychologically crippling, and
unfulfilled existence into a world of high adventure, danger,
hardship, and endurance, which ultimately leads her to autonomy and
recognition. In her new book, A Woman's Odyssey Into Africa, Hanny
Lightfoot-Klein chronicles three year-long solo backpacking treks
through remote areas of sub-Saharan Africa. In the process, she
discovers the mainsprings of strength within herself as she follows
her own drummer, finding the courage to face the darkest and most
secret convolutions of her own mind. She weaves the story of her
journey through the men, women, and children she meets, and the
dangers and adventures she faces as a lone woman traveler--part and
parcel of the path she has chosen to take.She infuses readers at
any stage of life, especially women, with the courage to do what
their individual drummer dictates, as she did, to find fulfillment
in life. Lightfoot-Klein assures readers in her book: "Even a life
of quiet desperation is not beyond redemption. Change starts with a
reassessment of the distortions in self image one has been
programmed to accept. It starts with an inner rebellion, a
realization that something has been amiss and a desire to set it
right, if only to leave a better heritage for one's children. And
then, most important of all, it begins with a single, wild,
breathless moment, where one picks up an unaccustomed load and
steps off into the unknown . . ." Her message is truly for
everyone.
