One Woman Walks Wales
A routine doctor's visit at thirty-one years old ends with a life-altering diagnosis: ovarian cancer. Ursula Martin’s response was anything but routine. Instead of succumbing to fear, she decided to walk—not just to her hospital appointments, but around the entire nation of Wales.
Over 17 months and 3,700 miles, this remarkable memoir chronicles a journey of extraordinary resilience. It's a story told not just in miles covered, but in moments of profound human connection, the kindness of strangers, and the rugged beauty of the Welsh landscape. Martin’s walk is a testament to the healing power of putting one foot in front of the other, a determined pilgrimage through pain and joy, laughter and tears.
Published by the esteemed Honno Welsh Women's Press, this is more than a travelogue; it's an inspiring, unflinching account of facing down mortality and choosing to live. For readers of Raynor Winn's The Salt Path and anyone who believes in the power of a journey to reshape a life.
