Two Mountains: Kilimanjaro to Quadriplegic and Back, (Paperback)

An award winning essayist, S. Michael Scadron now offers his inspirational memoir, Two Mountains: Kilimanjaro to Quadriplegic and Back-a remarkable, everyman story of inner strength, courage and willingness to endure-as well as the fond and funny moments that arise and comfort in the midst of fear.

An avid runner and trekker, Michael suffered a rare neurological disorder that rendered him quadriplegic just weeks after he reached the summit of Kilimanjaro. Transformed from an active, vibrant 52-year old into a wheelchair-bound patient who needed assistance to feed, move, relieve and clean his body, Michael faced a strange new world. The story recounts his climb up Kilimanjaro and his unprecedented ascent to walk again.
