What would you do if you learned you were dying of cancer? Would you spend your remaining time in a hospital bed, afraid of the pain and trying unsuccessfully to avoid it, or would you accept it and do one final crazy thing that could change the course of not only your life but the lives of others? Allen was a slave to the corporate world. His marriage was in shambles, and he was tired of the day-to-day grind. Then he learned he was dying from liver cancer. Having seen a friend die a horrible death from cancer, he decides his end will be different. He will abandon all he has known to find the meaning of life and answers to the questions that have haunted him for years, and he will do this alone, in the mountains. Life in the mountains is not easy, as he must call upon basic survival skills to get through each day. Free from the shackles of modern society, he is able to spend his remaining days contemplating life's mysteries and discovering what life truly holds if people will only give it a chance. The reconnection with life is difficult, but God is always there to walk with him and comfort him as he finds what we all look for but rarely find. From one man's experience On the Ledge of Life, we can all find how to truly live.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “The authors bring extreme climbing to life. . . . Perhaps no author can rationalize why some choose to risk their lives . . . for the thrill of conquering a mountain. The Ledge comes perilously close and tells a ripping true story at the same time.”—The Denver Post In June 1992, best friends Jim Davidson and Mike Price stood atop Washington’s Mount Rainier, celebrating what they hoped would be the first of many milestones in their lives as passionate mountaineers. Then their triumph turned tragic when a cave-in plunged them deep inside a glacial crevasse—the pitch-black, ice-walled hell of every climber’s nightmares. An avid adventurer since youth, Davidson was a seasoned climber at the time of the Rainier ascent. But the harrowing free fall left him challenged by nature’s grandeur at its most unforgiving. Trapped on a narrow frozen shelf, deep below daylight, he desperately battled crumbling ice, snow that threatened to bury him alive, and crippling fear of the inescapable chasm below—all the while struggling to save his fatally injured friend. Finally, alone, with little equipment and rapidly dwindling hope, he confronted a fateful choice: the certainty of a slow, lonely death or the near impossibility of an agonizing climb for life. A story of heart-stopping adventure, heartfelt friendship, fleeting mortality, and implacable nature, The Ledge chronicles the elation and grief, dizzying heights and punishing depths, of a journey to hard-won wisdom. “Plunges readers into a dark, icy chasm from which escape seems impossible. Then it reveals the strength it takes to look up, and to start climbing.”—Jim Sheeler, winner of the Pulitzer Prize and author of the National Book Award finalist Final Salute “How [Davidson] rescued himself is the core of The Ledge, and its most gripping part. The physical effort and will involved are astonishing.”—The Plain Dealer “A moving portrait of friendship and loss.”—The Wall Street Journal

Ledge is the heart-stopping beginning to The Glacian Trilogy from TikTok sensation Stacey McEwan @staceboookspace After being randomly selected as a human sacrifice, instead of death, Dawsyn finds herself on a quest to save her people from their icy prison... In a place known as the Ledge, a civilization is trapped by a vast chasm and sheer mountain face. There is no way for anyone to escape the frozen wasteland without befalling a deathly drop. They know nothing of the outside world except that it is where the Glacians reside – mystical and vicious winged creatures who bring meagre rations in exchange for a periodic human sacrifice. Dawsyn, ax wielder and only remaining member of her family, has so far avoided the annual culling, but her luck has run out. She is chosen and ripped from her icy home, the only world she knows. No one knows what will happen to her on the other side, least of all Dawsyn. Murdered? Enslaved? Worse? Fortunately, a half-Glacian called Ryon offers to help them both escape, but how can she trust one of the very creatures that plagued her life? Dawsyn is a survivor, and she is not afraid to cut anyone down to live. With a slow-burning romance, high stakes and even higher rewards, this richly created new fantasy series by popular TikToker Stacey McEwan will keep you gripped to the very end.

"The poems in Window Ledge are a raw, unadorned testament to what has been done and is being done human to human, and human to animal, plant, fowl, and fish. They express a kind of fatality combined with awe at the mysterious power of compassion that transcends everything. The poems in the first section of the book feel their way through life, on feet, on paws, on wings, and with their fins. The second section carves deeper into what we crave, what we cannot escape, and inevitably what we must make peace with. The final section describes the paradoxes of wholeness that include moments of not knowing, of utter stillness, of surrender and acceptance. These are not the poems of a young woman. They were written as the poet rode the tumultuous waves of life and found shimmering unexpected joy in the midst of indescribable pain."--
