Book Reviews of Angels in the Wilderness: The True Story of One Woman's Survival Against All Odds

Book Review: This is not a Christian based book.
Summary: 1 Stars

I bought this book as a christian, expecting an amazing story of the greatness and inspiration of God. Although, the ordeal of the writer was tragic and compelling, it does not credit traditional Christian doctrine.

I would not recommend this book to Christians seeking an inspirational read.

Summary of Angels in the Wilderness: The True Story of One Woman's Survival Against All Odds

This first-person account tells how author Amy Racina survived for four days and nights, both legs badly broken, in a remote valley in California's Sierra Mountains after a sixty-foot fall during a solo hiking trip. Battling pain, fear and exhaustion, she pulled herself along with her hands, and refused to give up, even when her chances of salvation were remote. The book chronicles her miraculous rescue, and describes her dramatic airlift out of the canyon, swinging helplessly from two straps, dangling fearfully beneath a helicopter high above the ravine where she had lain.

It is an amazing tale of despair and courage and hope. It speaks of incredible strength and heartbreaking weakness as it details what one woman believed might be the last days of her life. It is a memory of the darkest of times-and an affirmation of miracles. It is a celebration of a life almost snatched away, of survival against the odds.

- The book includes deeper spiritual reflections, the heartwarming story of "Helping Amy," the organization set up by the author's friends to aid her recovery, plus tips for wilderness survival.
