This was powerful stuff, especially hearing the author read it herself, allowing her passion and humor to shine through. Silvia Vasquez-Lavado has accomplished feats of epic proportions--not only summiting the highest peak on every continent, but also reckoning with her history of experiencing abuse, and helping others do the same. I also cracked up at multiple points in her story...her retelling of holding in her 💩 while nearing the Everest summit made me laugh out loud.
