Shattuck and her husband, Scott, were avid trekkers. They had trekked through the Himalayas together several times, and they were planning another trek when Scott was diagnosed with a terminal illness. He died just three weeks later.

Shattuck was devastated by Scott's death. She didn't know how she would go on without him. But she knew that she had to keep living, and she knew that she had to find a way to cope with her grief.

A few months after Scott's death, Shattuck decided to go on the trek that they had planned together. She thought that it would be a way to honor his memory and to find some peace in the mountains that they loved.

The trek was physically and emotionally challenging. Shattuck had to deal with altitude sickness, exhaustion, and the constant reminder of Scott's absence. But she also found beauty and solace in the mountains. She learned to appreciate the simple things in life, and she began to heal from her grief.

Shattuck's memoir is a moving and inspiring story about love, loss, and the power of nature to heal. It is a must-read for anyone who has ever experienced grief or loss.
