The Journey Continues...

Traversing Canada, rounding Cape Horn, riding the Patagonian Pampas and Mongolian wilds. From the Greek Islands to North Cape, through Thailand or along the Silk Road, Letson's journeys reflect her curiosity and adventurous spirit. Readers meet characters imagined and real: ancestral ghosts, the author's intrepid parents, lighthouse keepers, an Auschwitz survivor, gauchos, Roma, and nomads. Set within historic and literary contexts, Soul of a Nomad shares sixty-five years of journeys and revelations. Evocative descriptions nestle amongst hair-raising anecdotes, every page encouraging the reader to explore further.

The English word nomad derives from the ancient Greek νομαδ, referring to those who roam or wander in search of pasture for their livestock. Modern-day nomad, Kim Letson also searches - always seeking new vistas and fresh perspectives - on a lifelong journey that never fails to delight the reader.

James Deutsch, George Washington University lecturer, folklorist, author. All lives are special, but some are more special than others. This delightful autobiography encompasses a life, a career, and best of all, an exciting guide to those who are more interested in "otherness" than in exporting and expecting Canadian values when abroad. With boisterous good spirits and self-depreciating humor, Letson brings us with her to many of the world's "roads less traveled" and describes for us the good, the bad, and the ugly. Rick Steeves, watch out! Chris Harker, safari guide, fellow adventurer, author.

Soul of a Nomad takes us from the Yangykala Canyon of Turkmenistan to the Alaskan Coast and from Florence in Tuscany to Ushuaia in Patagonia. At every juncture, Letson reflects on the significance of place, time, and those she encounters. She describes her.
