In the Shadow of the Mountain: A Memoir of Courage, by Silvia Vasquez-Lavado

adventurous challenging emotional inspiring reflective medium-paced

4.0

In this memoir Silvia Vasquez-Lavado weaves the tail of her expedition to climb My. Everest as a backdrop to exploring the other challenges in her life and her journey to healing and self-confidence. Much like climbing mountains her story is both challenging, adventurous and at times quite dark whilst also being inspiring & hopeful.
