Charles Lindbergh endured 33 hours of flying without sleep to become the first aviator to cross the Atlantic alone... Eleven-year-old Terry Jo Duperrault survived four days at sea, drifting on a tiny life raft, after her family was murdered by the skipper of their chartered boat... Admiral Richard Byrd struggled through nearly five months of winter darkness, alone in a hut hurried in the ice of Antarctica... Mountaineer Joe Simpson suffered a devastating fall high in the Andes, then spent three days crawling back to camp with a broken leg...

In their gripping first-hand accounts, he finds a powerful metaphor for all individuals seeking to find their way in the world.
