This book is unbelievable. So unbearably good. The way she weaves together past and present is so skillful. Sometimes I had to put it down because it hurt to read, but I always needed to pick it up again as soon as I caught my breath.

Wow pretty much covers how I felt reading this entire book. Silvia is such an inspiration, and I adore her growth and ability to develop honesty with herself through the challenges she engaged in. I’ve been hit by her experiences and hope that she continues to find healing and love for her young self, as well as the person she is now.

Wow! I thought I had read enough books on alpine climbing that there wouldn’t be a new story to tell and I was completely wrong. Silvia’s story is one of strength I’ll never know and that’s not even referencing her climbing career.

This book has something for everyone.
