This is what other adventurers have to say about Rachel's book:
Rachel’s courage shines through her fear. It highlights her refusal to give in to weakness, and her determination not to retreat into a solipsistic shell, but to continue working together with her partner, minute after minute, hour after hour, clinging to hope, and nurturing creatively every tiny possibility to live. This is a universal epic of survival.
Stephen Venables, mountaineer, writer and speaker
As a high-altitude climber, I found this story of survival both terrifying and inspiring.
Sibusiso Vilane, adventurer and twice Everest summiteer
Rachel is a paradigm-shift. On hearing of her exploits, one expects a GI Jane-cast Demi Moore, but gets the girl next door ... with a difference. She places no boundary on her dreams, embraces life on nature’s terms, and simply blends in. I have met few people as inspiring and this gripping tale gives an inkling as to why.
