Synopsis

Full Tilt: eight months, six countries, two boys, one mother and loads of baggage!

Orphaned at four, Rebekah Tyler was brought up by her grandmother. Already struggling with raising her two sons as a single mother, she reached breaking point when her grandmother died. When her son Marco begged her to stop crying she knew things had to change.

Four months later, she sold her house, quit her job and took her took her two sons, aged two and ten, on an eight-month adventure around the world, travelling to Canada, England, France, Spain, Italy and Vietnam.

A fearless and spirited memoir, full of honesty and humour, Full Tilt follows the colourful life of Rebekah. Adversity encountered along the way only strengthens her resolve to keep moving forward in search of love and belonging.

‘Rebekah Tyler is a writer with a strong, colourful and original story to tell. There’s a deprecating self-honesty and a lot of personal courage shining through. Time and time again Rebekah does things that make average folks shake their heads.’
— Geoff Walker, Editor

‘Full Tilt is a wonderful memoir complete with pathos and humour. In this down-to-earth and honest account Rebekah brings her family, friends and lovers to life. Her grandmother, Nanny, who brought her up after her mother’s death is beautifully drawn. The vagaries of love and romance are grittily expressed, beginning with, “I was once taken to the rubbish dump for a date ...” Life could only get better from there – and it does.’
— Joan Rosier-Jones, Novelist
