JULIE McKELVEY never looked like someone destined to climb the Seven Summits. She wasn't born an athlete, wasn't raised in the mountains, and carried scars no summit could hide.
Years of addiction, shame, and despair once threatened to take everything. At rock bottom, Julie finally did what she had resisted her entire life. She surrendered.
In rehab, Julie learned what surrender truly meant--how to stay when it hurt, how to face fear without running, how to take the next right step when the path ahead was unclear. Those same lessons became the foundation not only for her recovery, but for an improbable journey to the highest peak on every continent.
Through violent storms, emergency evacuations, broken bones, business crises, motherhood, and the gut-wrenching moment her fifteen-year-old son entered treatment, Julie discovered a truth few summits can teach: Mountains don't make us strong. They reveal the strength we've already built.
This is not a story about a woman who climbed the Seven Summits. It is the story of a woman who refused to stop climbing--in life, in business, in recovery, and in the wildest places on Earth.
For anyone starting over. For anyone carrying a weight they don't believe they can bear. For anyone who believes their dream is out of reach: Rock Bottom to Everest is your invitation to return to the mountain, and to discover what's possible when you refuse to give up and take the next step anyway.
