A Light
May 6, 2024
Attended such a worthwhile talk tonight! Davis native and international rock climbing legend Beth Rodden (44) (who is also famous for the dramatic story of having been kidnapped in Kyrgyzstan while big-wall climbing with three other young climbers 24 years ago) was interviewed about her new book, “A Light Through the Cracks.” Holly (from Avid Reader) did the interview and asked exceptionally thoughtful questions. Their conversation didn’t dwell on the details of the Kyrgyzstan kidnapping per se, but did address its impact on Beth’s life. They talked about rock climbing, marriage, divorce, parenting.. and especially trauma… and the journey of recovery. All truly fascinating.
Ran into Ann L afterward. She asked, “is your cup full?” Me: “So full.”
I have another book to add to the stack. Can’t wait to read it. (Then I’m going to give it to Peter for his birthday.)
