She’s the greatest Mount Everest climber you’ve never heard of. Mountain Queen: The Summits of Lhakpa Sherpa tracks Lhakpa Sherpa’s storied mountaineering career against her record-breaking tenth summit to reveal a rich personal history: Her childhood as a girl denied an education in rural Nepal; her experience as an immigrant in America, and survivor of intimate partner violence; and her fight to live as a fearless example to her teenage daughters. Through it all, Lhakpa climbs –– her incredible strength and resilience inspired by Chomolungma, “Goddess Mother of the World”: Mount Everest.
