Adventure, romance, inner transformation, and more adventure. What's not to like? A wonderfully written book that will sweep you away to the most beautiful and remote parts of Africa and the Middle East and take you the kind of journey that we can now only dream of. This book will inspire you to grab life with both hands and maybe do things you never thought you would. Traveler or not you can be sure to get itchy feet after reading Chasing Lions, you can almost feel the warm desert breeze on your skin and hear the leaves rustling in the trees as you read Amanda Marks' beautifully written prose. I couldn't put it down and I'm certain that I will read it again soon!
