A young woman follows winter across five continents on a physical
and spiritual journey that tests her body and soul, in this
transformative memoir, full of heart and courage, that speaks to
the adventurousness in all of us-now available in paperback. Steph
Jagger had always been a force of nature. Dissatisfied with the
passive, limited roles she saw for women growing up, she emulated
the men in her life-chasing success, climbing the corporate ladder,
ticking the boxes, playing by the rules of a masculine ideal. She
was accomplished. She was living "The Dream." But it wasn't her
dream. Then the universe caught her attention with a sign: Raise
Restraining Device. Steph had seen this ski lift sign on countless
occasions in the past, but the familiar words suddenly became a
personal call to shake off the life she had built in a search for
something different, something more. Steph soon decided to walk
away from the success and security she had worked long and hard to
obtain. She quit her job, took a second mortgage on her house, sold
everything except her ski equipment and her laptop, and bought a
bundle of plane tickets. For the next year, she followed winter
across North and South America, Asia, Europe, and New Zealand-and
up and down the mountains of nine countries-on a mission to ski
four million vertical feet in a year. What hiking was for Cheryl
Strayed, skiing became for Steph: a crucible in which to crack open
her life and get to the very center of herself. But she would have
to break herself down-first physically, then emotionally-before she
could start to rebuild. And it was through this journey that she
came to understand how to be a woman, how to love, and how to live
authentically. Electrifying, heartfelt, and full of humor, Unbound
is Steph's story-an odyssey of courage and self-discovery that,
like Wild and Eat, Pray, Love, will inspire readers to remove their
own restraining devices and pursue the life they are meant to lead.
