Description
"Nancy Allen is a gorgeous writer, deft with the use of telling and power-packed poetic verbs and wise in her ability to see deep into the soul of a character and know how a single event can change them." - Elisabeth Sharp McKetta, author of Ark "Packed with raw emotional power, A Method of Reaching Extreme Altitudes is intelligent, at times heart-pumping, and always courageous." - Lesley Bannatyne, author of Unaccustomed to Grace
