520    "Defiance had provoked Thompson to enter the male-
       dominated world of high-altitude mountaineering, but 
       defiance could only take her so far. After a harrowing 
       battle with cancer, Lisa realized she needed to understand
       what motivated her to take greater and greater risks in 
       the mountains. Finding Elevation chronicles Thompson's 
       path from novice climber to world-class mountaineer, as 
       she becomes the second American woman to summit K2, which 
       is considered by many to be the most dangerous mountain in
       the world. More than a climbing memoir, Finding Elevation 
       is a deeply personal examination of motivation and the 
       human spirit. It is a story of what can happen when we 
       finally stop letting others define our limits and instead 
       trust that we are capable of more. In this inspiring book,
       Thompson reaches beyond the mountain to tell a story of 
       heartbreak, resilience, and the discovery that we are 
       responsible for defining our own boundaries, finding our 
       own happiness, and facing our fears head-on." --
