International human-rights advocate, Cara Yar Khan, battling an aggressive, fatal, muscle-wasting disease ventures out on a daring, 12-day Grand Canyon expedition on horseback and in whitewater rafts. But a journey that begins as a dramatic advocacy effort, quickly becomes an exercise in survival when Cara suffers a head injury one hour into the descent. And as the expedition team confronts unanticipated dangers in a remote wilderness that threatens to kill, wound, or undo them without warning, they also come face to face with their own individual demons. Her Inescapable Brave Mission is a story of fear, adrenaline, hubris, courage, and perseverance against the odds. A transformational journey for anyone who's ever found themselves, inescapably, on the edge of a cliff.
