MARY
MCGOWAN signing and discussing EMILY KLEIN’S
DIARY. Heart specialist Dr.
McGowan has written a novel for young adults about an overweight and believably
imperfect junior high school girl who embarks on a weight loss program that
turns into a school wide healthy eating project.
In August 2008\, eleven men lost their lives climbing the 'savage' mountain\, K2 in the Himalayas. Second only to Everest\, K2 is considered to be the more difficult to climb.
"\;One Mountain Thousand Summits\: The Untold Story of Tragedy and True Heroism on K2"\; is an insider's account of one of the deadliest and most controversial tragedies in climbing history.
Veteran climbing writer Wilkinson will be here to sign and discuss his book\, presenting the true story - critical of the mainstream press's account\, and giving an insightful portrait of the lives of the Sherpas - the true heroes.
