Description

Overnight, Jo Giese went from being a passionate hiker to being unable to walk.

A freak household accident and botched surgery left her with a dead Achilles tendon and at a crossroads--would she accept her sedentary fate, or would she fight to regain her footing? When you treasure hiking as much as Giese, the answer is clear. The path forward, less so.

Giese should not be able to walk today, let alone jump from helicopters and chase some of the most beautiful and remote waterfalls in the world. With support from family, friends, and doctors, and summoning her own grit and optimism, she defied the odds to relearn how to walk and again explore the outdoors and chase her beloved waterfalls. Giese became a medical miracle and learned that, truly, we never walk alone. Giese's memoir is about her unabashed joy, and how she responded when that joy was snatched from her. This raw story is guaranteed to leave readers crying and cheering, refusing to submit to anything less than their best lives.

You'll Never Walk Alone will have reluctant hikers leaping off the couch, experienced hikers grabbing their poles, and everybody looking to rekindle their gratitude no matter what obstacles the world throws at them.
