Tracks

Author: Robyn Davidson

In 1977, Robyn Davidson embarked on a daring 1,700-mile trek across the Australian outback with only four camels and her dog. Her memoir, “Tracks,” is a raw and introspective account of this incredible journey. Davidson’s vivid prose brings the harsh landscape to life, while her honest reflections on solitude, self-discovery, and the complexities of human nature captivate readers. This inspiring tale of adventure and perseverance will leave you questioning your own limits and yearning for the wild.

The two important things that I did learn were that you are as powerful and strong as you allow yourself to be, and that the most difficult part of any endeavor is taking the first step, making the first decision.
