I Chose to Climb: The Unbreakable Spirit of Arunima Sinha
She lost a leg. The world told her she was finished. She chose to prove them wrong on the highest mountain on Earth. Arunima Sinha was a national volleyball champion, a young woman with a clear path to a prestigious career and sporting glory. That life was annihilated in a single, horrific night when she was thrown from a moving train by thieves, an act of violence that cost her a leg and nearly her life. As she lay in a hospital bed, her body broken and her future erased, the world saw a victim. They offered pity, while police and media questioned her story, adding a cruel second assault on her character. But in that darkness, Arunima made a choice that defied all logic and expectation. She would not just learn to walk again. She would climb Mount Everest. I Chose to Climb is the unflinching, true story of that seemingly impossible journey. It is a raw and visceral account of the agonizing daily struggle to master a prosthetic leg in the world's most hostile environments, the constant pain and bleeding, and the fierce determination required to transform a shattered body into a mountaineer's tool. It takes you from her mentorship under Bachendri Pal, the first Indian woman to conquer Everest, to the harrowing, life-or-death decisions made in the mountain's perilous Death Zone. Yet, this is more than a story about one mountain. Discover how Arunima's historic victory on Everest was just the first step in a breathtaking global quest to conquer the highest peak on every continent—the Seven Summits. Ultimately, Arunima's story is about her greatest climb: the journey from personal triumph to a lasting legacy, as she dedicates her life to building a sports academy for underprivileged and disabled children. It is a testament to the idea that we are not defined by the tragedies that befall us, but by the choices we make in response. This is a story that will redefine your understanding of courage, resilience, and the incredible power of the human spirit. To begin this unforgettable journey, scroll up and grab your copy today.
