Editorial Review:

Product Description:
This first-person account tells how author Amy Racina survived for four days and nights, both legs badly broken, in a remote valley in CaliforniaÂ’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.



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - WILDERNESS SURVIVAL AND MORE
THIS IS TRULY AN AMAZING STORY OF SURVIVAL BY AN INDIVIDUAL DOING EVERYTHING IN HER POWER TO SURVIVE AND GAINING AN ASTONINISHING INSIGHT TO LIFE. A MULTI-FACETED STORY.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - This is not a Christian based book.
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.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Angels in the Wilderness: The True Story of One Woman's Survival Against All Odds
This book is well written and because I have backpacked many of the places where this women hiked and I could visualize it in my mind as I read. Also reading about her inner strength of survival is very life encouraging.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Wonderful Read!!
I could not put this book down Iam an avid reader and I read it in one day. What a wonderful testament to the human spirit. Amy has such a special gift of telling her story and the people who were key in her survival. Also, her rehabilitation and most of all her own spirit to raise above her situation and overcome so much.
Bless her and her Angels in life.
Thank you in writing the story.

Diane



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - An amazing story of survival
This is surely one of the great stories of survival, on par with `Into Thin Air', `Alive' and `Touching the Void'. A story of heroism, survival and recovery. Amy Racina is an ardent hiker who enjoys great solo journeys in the Mountains of California. She planned a 162 mile journey in Kings Canyon National park in 2003. This was to be in one of the most remote parts of the park, Tehipite, many miles from the nearest hikers, well beaten tracks and worn trails. In this brilliant account the author ...
