When You Journeyed Homeward


By Cynthia Kennedy. Eolus Press

Initially, this appears to be just another mountaineering book about people obsessed with bagging the world's highest peaks. But Kennedy has made it into something more. With brutal honesty, she examines the ego-driven personalities, divisiveness and blatant disregard for the environment and human life among mountain climbers.

Those elements nearly destroy her and her marriage when her husband, Jerry, returns from Kathmandu with hands and feet so badly frostbitten he may lose them. Juggling her own health problems and a full-time job as a lawyer, Kennedy also assumes the role of nurse to her husband, cleaning and bathing Jerry's damaged feet daily and being the target for his anger and irascible demands.

Final word: Kennedy's polished, insightful prose will make her story resonate with other caregivers while also removing the romance of death-defying mountaineering.
