Humdinger of a well-written tale about a solo hiker’s mishap stranded in Joshua Tree Park which I wanted to send to every one I know who hikes alone. Be careful out there! Cell phones don’t reach everywhere. ( ) Food writer Claire Nelson had always prided herself on her independence and adventurous spirit. When she falls into a hole during an ill-fated day hike in Joshua Tree National Park, however, all her prior assumptions are sorely tested. She survives, despite a fractured pelvis and internal injuries, through sheer determination and the ingenious use of the few items she brought with her. Her ordeal teaches her gratitude for the friends and life she has, even if her reality is not always as perfect as a curated Instagram post. I found the sections of this book that covered Nelson's survival story hard to put down. Her memories of life in New Zealand and London were not quite as compelling. On the whole, however, I highly recommend this book. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
In 2018, writer Claire Nelson made international headlines when she fell over 25 feet after wandering off the trail in a deserted corner of Joshua Tree. The fall shattered her pelvis, rendering her completely immobile. There Claire lay for the next four days, surrounded by boulders that muffled her cries for help, but exposed her to the relentless California sun above. Her rescuers had not expected to find her alive. In THINGS I LEARNED FROM FALLING Claire tells not only her story of surviving, but also her story of falling. What led this successful thirty-something to a desert trail on the other side of the globe from her home where no one knew she would be that day? At once the unbelievable story of an impossible event, and the human journey of a young woman wrestling with the agitation of past and anxiety of future. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
