Talk it up! (Thank you, Jason!)- Melissa's memoir is great. I couldn't put this book down. Her writing is engaging and her story is heartbreaking. I'm grateful that she wrote about her love of climbing and her journey through her medical procedures. Reading about her overcoming her fears and physical recovery is inspirational and provided me with valuable perspective about what matters in life. I may never get to meet her, but I am better for having read her story.
--Goodreads review from Jason Boyle
Wishing you all a happy, fun and safe 4th of July weekend!
