{"product_id":"end-of-the-rope-mountain-marriage-and-motherhood","title":"End of the Rope: Mountain, Marriage, and Motherhood","description":"\u003cp\u003eAs a young teenager Jan Redford runs away from a cottage where her father has just put her down for the zillionth time and throws herself against a 100-foot cliff face. Somewhere in that shaky, outraged kid is a bedrock belief in her right to exist, which carries her to the top. In that brief flash of victory, she sets her sights on becoming a climber.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFalling in love with climbing eventually leads to falling in love with the climbers in her tight-knit western Canadian climbing community. It also means that the people she loves regularly vanish in an instant, caught in an avalanche or by a split second of inattention. It almost crushes Jan when her boyfriend, the gifted climber Dan Guthrie, is killed. Instead of marrying Dan, she marries one of his best friends, a driven climber who was there for her when she was grieving and becomes the father of her two children. Not what either of them planned.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEnd of the Rope \u003c\/i\u003eis raw and real. Mountains challenge Jan, marriage almost annihilates her, and motherhood could have been the last straw...but it isn't. How she climbs out of the hole she digs for herself is as thrilling and inspiring as any of her climbs--and just as much an act of bravery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 400 pages, 16 x 3.3 x 23.62cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublished: April 3, 2018\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublisher: Random House Canada\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eItem weight: 599 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-padding-small\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eJAN REDFORD lives with her family in Squamish, B.C., where she mountain bikes, trail runs, climbs and skis.
