(Cheryl
Strayed)
Kara
Richardson
Whitely
was
determined
to
reach
the
summit
of
Mt.
Kilimanjaro.
But
she
struggled
with
each
step--with
the
grueling
conditions
on
the
steep
mountainside,
with
the
300-pound
weight
of
her
own
body,
and
with
her
food
addiction,
which
came
from
a
lifetime
of
reckoning
with
feelings
of
failure
and
shame.
Deep
in
her
personal
gorge,
Kara
realized
the
only
way
out
was
up.
