OUT NOW - THINGS I LEARNED FROM FALLING - Claire Nelson's incredible    

OUT NOW - THINGS I LEARNED FROM FALLING - Claire Nelson's incredible story of survival after a devastating cliff fall. In 2018, while hiking in Joshua Tree Park, California, Claire fell 25 feet, shattering her pelvis on impact and lay alone in unbearable pain in the desert in searing 40 degrees heat. She was mistakenly miles off any trail, without a cell phone signal, fighting for her life. Under the circumstances she was amazingly clear-headed. She made herself a shelter fro...m the blazing sun using a plastic bag; she used her hiking stick to rub sunscreen onto her legs to stop her skin from blistering; she urinated into a drink bottle so wild animals would not be attracted by the scent (and ended up drinking it to remain hydrated). And while she did all this, she chronicled her pain and desperation on a digital camera. In THINGS I LEARNED FROM FALLING Claire tells her incredible story and what it taught her about loneliness, anxiety and transformation and how to survive it all.
