Beyond the Limits: Woman's Triumph on Everest by Stacy Allison
A female American climber presents a narrative account which breaks through the barriers of a traditionally male-dominated sport. Being the first American woman to reach the summit of Everest, Stacy tells the personal story of her struggle out of the trap of domestic violence, of finally summoning the courage to leave an abusive marriage to discover a new vision of herself and a better love.
