Description
Beth Rodden's inspiring memoir recounts her harrowing experience as an elite rock climber who was kidnapped by militant rebels in Kyrgyzstan. After six days of hiding and captivity, she miraculously escaped with her boyfriend and two other climbers.
The trauma of that event had a profound impact on Beth, leading to a fixation on pushing past fear and anxiety. Her obsessive training and climbing achievements masked the terrors of her past, but ultimately, she realized that the only way to overcome her anxieties was to let go of the lifeline she'd been clinging to.
A Light Through the Cracks is Beth's powerful journey of ambition, hope, love, physical endurance, and self-discovery. It charts a path towards healing and finding a new sense of purpose, one that goes beyond the pursuit of athletic perfection.
