About this listen

In Something as Big as a Mountain, the author describes her fledgling efforts at mountaineering while trying to understand her motivation for undertaking such a risky and physically demanding journey above the tree line. Having recently completed yet another arduous journey, one through a cancer diagnosis and treatment, her return to physical activity escalates from mere walking to training for a significant climb. This beautifully written piece speaks to illness, recovery, and the resilience of the human spirit.

First runner-up, PRISM International Creative Nonfiction Contest, February 2012.
