Saving Lucy:

When British-Iranian writer-adventurer Ishbel Rose Holmes set out to ride her bike across the world, she was alone and adrift; she certainly never expected to be anyone’s saviour. But when she comes upon a Turkish street dog being attacked by a pack of dogs, she steps into the fray, gaining a companion, who, like herself, is in need of healing. Saving Lucy is the amazing true story of their adventures together and the deep connection that forms when Lucy breaks down Ishbel’s tough exterior as the two cross the thousand miles that lead to the Syrian border.
