ATLANTA, GA, UNITED STATES, October 29, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Tap Dancing on Everest, part coming-of-age memoir, part adventure story, is the gripping tale of a young medical student who battles self-doubt to serve as the doctor—and only woman—on a groundbreaking Everest climb in Tibet. There Zieman, the daughter of a Holocaust survivor raised in N.Y.C., fights to find her voice and to save the climbers’ lives. Sparkling with suspense and vulnerability, this narrative of self-discovery captures the curiosity and awe of a young woman as she faces down messages to stay small and safe and ventures into the unknown.

“Gorgeous, so full of joy, zest, fun and yet with some profound thoughts. Once started you cannot put it down.”— Sir Chris Bonington, author of Everest the Hard Way

“An ideal alchemy of grit and grace. The lessons Zieman learns on the mountain are important lessons for us all. A wild and deeply satisfying journey.”— Emily Rapp Black, author of The Still Point of The Turning World

“A riveting, profoundly wise coming-of-age memoir written in stunning, breathtaking detail.”— Hippocampus Magazine
