Susan Oakey-Baker

“This is a powerful story.” -- Jian Ghomeshi, Host and creator of Q on CBC Radio.
"This one’s definitely a must-read” — Riaz Meghji, Host of Breakfast Television Vancouver
"I feel we learn more about each other through our vulnerabilities than through our strengths."
"I bit my lip and squeezed him closer to me. My body sagged. We were not safe. I had almost lost him."
"I did not question their years of experience in the mountains. . . . However, I did question the risk of having them on the team. After all, Martin is 85 years old and Esther is 84."
"I tried to answer the question, “Was it worth the risk loving Jim, a mountaineer?” To be vulnerable, to venture out of one’s comfort zone, to live wholeheartedly in spite of the uncertainty of life, is absolutely worth the risk."
