With its towering mountains, sun-scorched deserts, fierce wildlife, and hard-to-predict weather, the American West ranks among the most forbidding places on Earth. Yet many are drawn to the beauty of this wild and rugged region. Some are daredevils. . .some are athletes. . .and some are outdoors enthusiasts who find themselves in a chilling battle for survival. In their extraordinary, heart-stopping true stories, you will discover how much can go wrong when people find themselves caught in the cross-hairs of nature's power. . . Dare To Survive Flash floods, plane crashes, animal attacks, avalanches, landslides--these devastating phenomena all too often claim the lives of men, women, and children in the American West. But some beat the odds, living to tell about their terrifying ordeals. There are inspirational stories of extreme survival and tremendous bravery. Of the hiker who--though armed with only a knife--survived a 30-minute nightmare with a cougar. . .of the backcountry snowboarder buried alive by an avalanche, saved with only minutes to spare. . .of the outdoorsman pinned by an 800-pound boulder who freed himself by amputating his own arm. And there are the unexplainable, senseless tragedies--the little girl whose mysterious disappearance at a national park was never solved. . . the inexperienced charter pilot who crashed trying to beat curfew in a snowstorm. . .and the veteran backwoods camper who, despite every precaution, fell victim to a fatal bear attack. What does it take to endure the impossible? Dare to Survive tackles that question as it vividly reminds us that when danger strikes, survival becomes the ultimate human challenge.

This book was written with the purpose of educating and helping our young children, but especially our young women and girls, find the power that is often stifled, either because of institutionalized inequality, or efforts by a male-dominated society that represses women's ability to excel to the highest level in society. The strength to overcome obstacles, lies in your ability to thrive, regardless of the daily bombardment of negative, and oftentimes outright false narratives, mainly that, women are either too angry, too cold (usually shrill is the word being thrown around), or not "likeable enough" to run for the highest office in this country. Having always asked to explain themselves, and to prove that even though they are the most qualified person in the world for the job, why they deserve it. Know that you are responsible for your own destiny, and unless you give up that power by surrendering to others, you are in full control of your successes.
