Enough : climbing toward a true self on Mount Everest / Melissa Arnot Reid.

Summary:

"Enough" by Melissa Arnot Reid is a raw and emotional memoir about her journey to become the first American woman to summit Mount Everest without supplemental oxygen. At twenty-seven, after nearly achieving this goal, Reid faces the crushing feeling of failure. Throughout the book, she reflects on her tumultuous past, marked by family conflict and personal struggles, and her rise in the male-dominated world of mountain climbing. Ultimately, Reid's memoir explores her most challenging climb yet--toward self-acceptance and forgiveness, both of herself and others.
