Regions of the Heart by David Rose

Alison Hargreaves was one of the most talented and accomplished climbers of her generation. Yet after her death in 1995 in a violent storm on K2 she was vilified. How could a mother take such extreme risks? The truth is that her climbing was her family's only source of income. Their only hope of future security. This is adventure writing of the finest kind. Insightful, compassionate, dramatic and ultimately moving. It reclaims Hargreaves's life from those who've dwelt only on her death.
