A Way Up
There’s a Seattle urban legend about something rare and unusual in the snow at 14,000 feet — not a Sasquatch but a booted, nude woman atop Mt. Rainier. This is the story behind the legend. Paula Engborg is an energetic, 41-year-old divorced mom in search of Prince Charming when one day she finds a new sport: The Climb. Paula has barely ascended a stepladder, so why the desire to climb mountains? Unlike other books about climbing, A WAY UP isn’t about the highest mountains, famous climbers, or exotic locations. Instead, it’s the experiences of the feisty author, who, in middle-aged, finds a new rush. Here, the mountains in the Pacific NW and rock walls in the Southwest come alive. You’ll feel the bitter cold, the rigours of training, and share Paula’s dream of making it to the top. Along the way this self-proclaimed “climb-aholic” defies the odds to become a member of Mountain Rescue, makes and breaks friends, and falls in love with Clint, a man with a penchant for motorcycle rallies. Paula’s story is a literal tale of hard knocks, told with warmth and unflinching detail.
Heavy Metal Headbang
It's not every day that a Hollywood publicist gets hit by a car. Melissa Meszaros is on her way to a Judas Priest concert when the accident happens. The traumatic brain injury she sustains changes everything. Her life is turned upside down. Her steady job as publicist and trusted friends and colleagues are called into question. Even her own reflection staring back at her from the mirror seems alien. As she navigates the legal and medical battles before her, Melissa also begins to challenge her own fractured self. For a publicist, identity is everything. What begins as a series of snapshot memories soon becomes an inspiring personal tale of recovery, as Melissa questions both her own identity and her career. What does it mean to suddenly disappear from a rock'n'roll lifestyle when your whole professional life has been dedicated to making others famous? Heavy Metal Headbang is a defiant memoir like no other, confronting our celebrity-obsessed culture as well as the social challenges that come with recovering from a life-changing injury.
