N2  - As a child, Maggie Downs often doubted that she would ever possess the courage to visit the destinations her mother dreamed of one day seeing. ?You are braver than you think,? her mother always insisted. That statement would guide her as, over the course of one year, Downs backpacked through seventeen countries-visiting all the places her mother, struck with early-onset Alzheimer?s disease, could not visit herself-encountering some of the world?s most striking locales while confronting the slow loss of her mother. Interweaving travelogue with family memories, Braver Than You Think takes the reader hiking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, white-water rafting on the Nile, volunteering at a monkey sanctuary in Bolivia, praying at an ashram in India, and fleeing the Arab Spring in Egypt. By embarking on an international journey, Downs learned to make every moment count-traveling around the globe and home again, losing a parent while discovering the world
