This is the story of 17 women who battled against breast cancer and took on the challenge of climbing Argentina's Mount Aconcagua, the tallest peak in the Western hemisphere, to raise awareness about... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I think this is an inspiring book, but to be perfectly honest it seems that this book was written specifically for women who went on Expedition Inspiration. This book is like a diary. Since this book peers into so many different lives, it lacks focus. There are too many people and it's hard to remember who is who. Esp since the author chops the books into before cancer, after cancer, before climb, after climb type of chapters. The author wants to concentrate on too many things: the people & their stories, the past, the present, the climb, the doctors, cancer etc. Way too many topics. It's difficult reading a survey book for that purpose. It would have been nice to have focused on 3-5 people to really have a more in depth understanding of what this challenge was like for them.
extremely interesting and inspiring.

A book everyone should read. It is an exciting adventure story as well as an inspirational story of women who have survived not only breast cancer but the treatment and the emotional turmoil which comes with this disease. These are real, live women who are heroes in anyones language..
