🧗Wow, this book was so much more than I was expecting.

🧗I’ll admit it isn’t the type of book I’d typically pick up. Even though I do have an interest in hiking, I’ve never really spent much time reading or learning about Mount Everest. That may change after this book. Google is going to think I am very interested after all the searches I did while reading.

🧗I expected this to be about two brothers’ journey to become the first black American men to summit Mount Everest. What I didn’t expect was the deep and rich character study that honestly blew me away. I think the way the story unfolded could have been risky had it not been handled so well, but wow did she do it well. Karen Outen will be one to watch for sure!

🧗Dixon and Nate are two characters I won’t be forgetting anytime soon. They’ll have you laughing, crying and angry all at the same time!

🎥I would also buy tickets to see this as a movie SO FAST.

🗣️JD Jackson was the perfect narrator for this book. He did an excellent job portraying such a wide bevy of emotions. I was locked in listening to every word he spoke.

🧗You won’t want to miss this one!

❓Would you consider yourself a daredevil or a scaredy-cat? Or somewhere in between?
