520    "When Silvia's mother called her home to Peru, she knew 
       something finally had to give. A Latinx hero in the elite 
       macho tech world of Silicon Valley, privately, she was 
       hanging by a thread. She was deep in the throes of 
       alcoholism, hiding her sexuality from her family, and 
       repressing the abuse she'd suffered as a child. Her visit 
       to Peru would become a turning point in her life. Silvia 
       started climbing. Something about the brute force required
       for the ascent-the restricted oxygen at altitude, the vast
       expanse of emptiness around her, the risk and spirit and 
       sheer size of the mountains, the nearness of death-woke 
       her up. And then, she took her biggest pain to the biggest
       mountain: Everest. "The Mother of the World," as it's 
       known in Nepal, allows few to reach her summit, but Silvia
       didn't go alone. She gathered a group of young female 
       survivors and led them to base camp alongside her, their 
       strength and community propelling her forward. In the 
       Shadow of the Mountain is a remarkable story of heroism, 
       one which awakens in all of us a lust for adventure, 
       gratitude for the strong women in our lives, and faith in 
       our own resilience"--|cProvided by publisher.
