CHASING SHOOTING STARS is more than just an fascinating travelogue; it is a roller-coaster ride of emotions, an intriguing family history, and a sometimes painful personal memoir. It tells the story of a journey taken to Argentina, Chile and Uruguay in 1999 in search of colourful ancestors - English expatriates who made (and sometimes lost) their fortunes. The story begins with an adventurous Liverpudlian great-great grandfather who crossed the Atlantic in the mid-nineteenth century and returned years later a "Gentleman". It is a true labour of love to find a far-flung family from the distant and not-so-distant past.
