Awe-inspiring and relatable

I'm not sure how she does it, but the author, Lisa Thompson, tells her story in such a down-to-earth way that even though she is doing what my brain knows is nearly impossible, I could almost imagine myself in her shoes. And by telling her story in such a relatable way, it has allowed me to see my own life's challenges and try to approach them with the grit and surrender of control that Lisa does with the mountains. The story keeps you engaged with each page and I highly recommend it.
