This new title from Bradt tells the inspiring and emotional story
of Ishbel Holmes, also known as `World Bike Girl', a
Scottish-Iranian woman who became a champion racing cyclist in
spite of having been abandoned by her family, and who set off on
the adventure of a lifetime despite her lack of experience, money
or equipment. Ishbel Holmes was determined to cycle the world but
her journey took a completely unexpected turn when, despite her
initial instincts not to, she rescued a street dog in Turkey.
Ishbel was lost and alone when she started on her epic trip, but in
Lucy found a companionship never previously known. Between the two
there formed a deep bond and their relationship was followed and
supported by thousands of readers online, before becoming a media
sensation overnight when Ishbel put out a plea for help to
transport Lucy to an animal shelter three hundred miles away. This
heart-rending tale is about more than just the relationship between
a woman and her dog. It is a testimony to the human spirit,
overcoming present-day challenges and churning up long-buried and
painful memories from Ishbel's earlier life. It is also a tale of
adventure, one person's determination to cross an unfamiliar
country by bike and the unforgettable scenes that greet her on the
Turkey-Syria border and into Syria itself. And it is a loving
portrait of Lucy, the street dog that was determined not to let
Ishbel go and whose dogged persistence helped to break down the
barriers around her heart and in so doing change her life in ways
she had never imagined. Ultimately, this is a tale of love and
healing, a modern fable that touches the soul and reminds us all of
the need to belong.
