Pre order your copy now . . . _________ A few years ago I was asked if Id like to make a documentary on the Mekong River, travelling from the vast delta in Vietnam to the remote and snowy peaks of Tibet. Up until that point, the farthest East Id been was Torremolinos, in the Costa Del Sol. Heres the thing: I am scared of flying. I have zero practical skills. I cant survive if I am more than a three minute walk from a supermarket. For the last seven years I have suffered with crippling anxiety I bolt when panicked. I cannot bear to witness humans or animals in distress I have no ability to learn languages. I am a terrible hypochondriac Oh, and I am no good with boats. So I said yes. _________ PRAISE FOR SUE PERKINS Drama, tears and laughs ...
