Description
In this true story of a series of obstacles, both physical and metaphorical, Kate prepares herself for a life's work of summiting Everest. Born into a close-knit and happy family and raised in the Lake District, she struggled throughout school with dyspraxia: a lack of fine motor control, poor coordination, balance, and trouble staying organised. Kate, her brother and parents were then presented with the challenge of understanding their youngest family addition, a profoundly autistic girl named Martha. In this epic, Kate explores the social and material struggles of coping with bullying, heartbreak, finding employment following graduation, with a bereavement, and with struggling to accept herself. This is a narration of the consequences and the rewards of deciding to choose one's own unconventional path in a world and a society that does not automatically welcome its fledglings. It is also a story of mud, sweat, tears, hills and miles. Kate vividly chronicles how striving to achieve through adventure can bring enlightenment, peace and a tremendous sense of freedom.
