Summary:
"A searching, uplifting memoir by the celebrated, groundbreaking climber: a journey of overcoming where the mountain's highest peaks can only be reached by traversing the dark crevasses of the soul"--

"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. Despite her professional success, she battles deep inner turmoil, including strained relationships and the loss of friends and mentors. Ultimately, Reid's memoir explores her most challenging climb yet--toward self-acceptance and forgiveness, both of herself and others. The book combines the physical challenges of mountaineering with a poignant journey of personal growth and emotional healing.
