Beautiful and deftly written and intimate and searing in its honesty, Anish’s is a quest to conquer the trail and her own inner darkness. -- Foreword Reviews (starred review) Excerpted from 'Thirst: 2600 Miles to Home' A few yards up the trail I pulled out my treat for the evening—a caffeinated gel. I swallowed it and began to power up the climb, head down. Switchback, switchback, switchback...As I neared a turn, I glanced up to see cougar eyes illuminated just feet from my face. Unlike my other encounters, I did not recoil or bark defensively. Instead, I lunged forward, arms over my head and I Roared. The lion did not pause for a second investigation. It turned tail and fled up the trail, disappearing into the night. Caffeine and adrenaline coursed through my body. I could literally feel the chemicals throbbing in my veins, and I shook with the visceral urge to physically lay hands on the opponent and fight it. I was done being afraid of the night, of lions, of failure—of anything. Chest heaving, I stood and stared in the direction it had gone. I roared again. There is nothing on this mountain that won’t know that I am a lioness tonight.
