Book Synopsis

The gripping first-person account of one woman''s survival in Joshua Tree National Park against the odds.

A vibrantly physical book—The Guardian  •  Uplifting and brave—Stylist  •   A riveting account of loneliness, anxiety and survival—Cosmopolitan

In 2018, writer Claire Nelson made international headlines when she fell over 25 feet after wandering off the trail in a deserted corner of Joshua Tree. The fall shattered her pelvis, rendering her completely immobile. There Claire lay for the next four days, surrounded by boulders that muffled her cries for help, but exposed her to the relentless California sun above. Her rescuers had not expected to find her alive.
