- Abstract
- "When she was twenty-four years old, Ellen Anderson Penno lost her partner in an avalanche while climbing Mount Baker. His body was lost in a crevasse, never to be seen again. She was scheduled to begin medical school in a few weeks time. With the school only granting her a one-year deferment, and still wanting to become a doctor, Ellen found herself deep in her studies, surrounded by death and cadavers and struggling to maintain her way through her turbulent grief and rigorous med school schedule. In this new memoire, Ellen Anderson Penno, structures her story around the human body; a story of grief, loss, despair and ultimately of love."-- Provided by publisher.
