Title: No Mountain Too High: A Triumph over Breast Cancer : The Story of the Women of Expedition Inspiration (Adventura Books) by Andrea Gabbard ISBN: 1-58005-008-5 Publisher: Seal Press (WA) Pub. Date: 01 July, 1998 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $16.00 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.67 (3 reviews)

Summary: Good, but was expecting more...
Comment: 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.

Summary: Laura Evans passed away October 17, 2000
Comment: She was the founder of Expedition Inspiration, and chose the 16 other women whose lives are chronicled in this book. I was the journalist on the team and followed Laura and the women through their training and then on to the expedition on Argentina's Mount Aconcagua. Last October, Laura was diagnosed with an incurable brain tumor, unrelated to her breast cancer, which she had conquered. In both this book and the book that Laura wrote, called "The Climb of My Life," and also available from amazon.com, you will witness the incredible courage, determination and will to survive of these women. In addition, you will be making a donation to the cause to fight breast cancer.
Rating: 5
Summary: extremely interesting and inspiring.
Comment: 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..
