About This Book
A woman doctor facing a medical diagnosis and financial ruin leaves urban hardship with her husband to return west by tandem bicycle, carrying a small cooking and sleeping outfit and relying on odd jobs and hospitality. The narrative follows their episodic journey through towns and countryside, recounting encounters with unemployment, poverty, humane aid, and the practical challenges of itinerant life. Interwoven are reflections on health, marital partnership, resourcefulness, and the social forces that push people into transient work, presented with pragmatic detail and anecdotal episodes that map survival and self-reliance on the road.
