"Freya Hoffmeister's voyage was bold, ambitious, and reckless--like so many of the truly great adventures!" -Bear Grylls, author of "Mud, Sweat, and Tears" and "The Kid Who Climbed Everest"

""Fearless "is a tribute to the indomitable spirit of Freya Hoffmeister as she battled to become the first woman to circumnavigate Australia alone in a sea kayak. Ms. Hoffmeister's accomplishment will endure and inspire not only because of the miles she paddled or her speed on the water, but because she refused to believe it couldn't be done." -- Warren Richey, author of "Without a Paddle" "I'm intrigued by people who do things the rest of us think are impossible. "Fearless" is just such an adventure, with the added twist that the intrepid explorer is a brash and beautiful woman who has a unique view of life. Author Joe Glickman's crisp writing puts us in the kayak with this unusual heroine on her incredibly dangerous journey. Hang on!" --Michael Tougias, author "of Fatal Forecast, Overboard!,"
