About The Book

An intense and emotional epistolary memoir by one of the world’s top ice climbers, born at the confluence of motherhood, adventure, career, and marriage. But don’t be fooled, this is not a story of how it all works, it’s a story of the maelstrom trying to pull off a big life you want to make bigger, told through the real time letters Majka wrote to her twins from pregnancy to age five while pregnant and then a mom to young twins, while also trying to maintain her career as a professional climber, have a good marriage, re-parent herself, lead a growing international organization that’s disrupting the way conservation is done, and…more.
