Things I Learned From Falling

Claire Nelson

An inspirational and gripping first-person account of determination, adversity and survival against the odds.  In 2018, Claire Nelson made international headlines, after she ran away from her hectic London life of work and socialising to hike in Joshua Tree Park in California. She said she just needed to be in nature. After wandering off any recorded trail, she fell 25 feet, gravely injuring herself and lay alone in the desert, for four days, contemplating her own death.  Miraculously, she was found, and this book tells her incredible story and all she has learnt about loneliness, anxiety and transformation.
