Description

Colin O'Brady's awe-inspiring, New York Times bestselling memoir recounting his recovery from a tragic accident and his record-setting 932-mile solo crossing of Antarctica is a ';jaw-dropping tale of passion and perseverance' (Angela Duckworth, New York Times bestselling author of Grit).

Prior to December 2018, no individual had ever crossed the landmass of Antarctica alone, without support and completely human powered. Yet, Colin O'Brady was determined to do just that, even if, ten years earlier, there was doubt that he'd ever walk again normally. From the depths of a tragic accident, he fought his way back. In a quest to unlock his potential and discover what was possible, he went on to set three mountaineering world records before turning to this historic Antarctic challenge.

O'Brady's pursuit of a goal that had eluded many others was made even more intense by a head-to-head battle that emerged with British polar explorer Captain Louis Ruddalso striving to be ';the first.' Enduring Antarctica's sub-zero temperatures and pulling a sled that initially weighed 375 poundsin complete isolation and through a succession of whiteouts, storms, and a series of near disastersO'Brady persevered.

Alone with his thoughts for nearly two months in the vastness of the frozen continentgripped by fear and doubthe reflected on his past, seeking courage and inspiration in the relationships and experiences that had shaped his life.

';Incredibly engaging and well-written' (The Wall Street Journal)and set against the backdrop of some of the most extreme environments on earth, from Mt. Everest to Antarcticathis is ';an unforgettable memoir of perseverance, survival, daring to dream big, and showing the world how to make the impossible possible' (Booklist, starred review).
