THE
JOURNEY
Most trips have a destination as the goal, but it’s often the journey itself that becomes the significant part of the trip. When Tom Gilligan began his trip in Vancouver in July 1985, reaching his children in Toronto was the goal. In the 44 days that followed, on 4,604 kilometres of roads, he learned a lot about Canada, and about himself.
REVIEWS
"Navigating Love and Landscape in The Journey by Tom Gilligan."
"Tom Gilligan’s memoir The Journey takes the reader on an epic voyage that traverses both the vast landscape of Canada and the emotional landscape of the heart. His journey is one not only of physical exertion but also of inner growth and self-discovery."
"The story begins as Gilligan, with little experience in long-distance biking and limited financial resources, embarks on a monumental quest to reunite with his children in Toronto. Setting out from Vancouver with only a second-hand bike and a small tent, Gilligan meets with many hardships and setbacks, but fueled by determination and empowered by love, he pushes on, kilometer after kilometer."
