If you like stories about badass women breaking the barrier then you will LOVE this book!!

This is a nonfiction account of the life of mountaineer Christine Boskoff who became one of the top female mountaineers. She summited many of the 8000m peaks and was one of the only female high altitude mountain guides. The book tells the story of her life leading up to her disappearance and the dramatic search following.

I seriously could not put this book down and finished it in a day! It is so incredibly inspiring and written like a novel to make it engaging. It has a taste of romance, culture, and mystery making it a fantastic read. I cannot recommend it enough!!
