Alone: A Haleakala Memoir is the journey of a 68-year old mountaineer's ordeal in a violent tropical storm while hiking out of Maui's volcano. In the dark and cold he loses his way and wanders into a vast rain forest. In the seeming endless ordeal of physical and emotional challenges, hallucinations lead him astray, exhaustion finds him sleeping on his feet. Death shadows his footsteps. Rescue efforts to find him become a body recovery. This is an intimate, engaging story of a older man who overcomes fear and suffering with strength, perseverance, and tenacity.
